iv“The Handbook provides a broad and diverse set of perspectives on the history and impact of private equity and leveraged buyouts. There is useful information here for everyone – academics, practitioners, and policymakers.”

Steven N. Kaplan, Neubauer Family Distinguished Service Professor of Entrepreneurship and Finance, University of Chicago Booth School of Business, USA

“This book is a fascinating collection of articles on one of the most significant forms of corporate restructuring to have emerged over the last few decades. Edited by members of the influential Centre for Management Buy-out Research, it brings together a group of leading scholars to evaluate the origins, source, funding, consequences, and performance of management buyouts. It will be a major reference on the subject for years to come.”

Colin Mayer, Peter Moores Professor of Management Studies, Said Business School, University of Oxford, UK

“The editors of this volume have put together a remarkable set of contributions representing the best research on important aspects of buyouts, and an important map for future research on the phenomenon. The managerial lessons from each chapter are particularly useful for practitioners and regulators of the art. This volume is highly recommended for scholars, thought leaders, policymakers, and dealmakers.”

Phillip H. Phan, PhD, Alonzo and Virginia Decker Professor of Strategic Management and Entrepreneurship, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA
