Abstract

In Chapter 1, we discussed three factors — private ownership, the reconciliation of ownership and control, and capital structure — as being the key characteristics of MBOs likely to lead to changes in managerial motivation, corporate culture, and thence to strategy and performance after a buyout. A summary of the arguments made throughout Chapter 1 are represented in Figure 8.1 and Table 8.1 below. The fourteen propositions of Table 8.1 encapsulate most of the received wisdom on the subject. These have been drawn from empirical research; the higher journalism of such publications as Business Week, Fortune, the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal; and the armchair speculation of other commentators, advisers and observers of the business scene.
