Abstract

Orthotec was a successful medtech company that had passed from the original founders to a new generation of owner-managers. In order to buy out the founders, the new owners were looking for a way to raise new capital for expansion as well. From among several options to select, the new owner-managers chose the private equity route. Conflicts soon arose with the new private equity investors joining the board resulting in a conflict that could not be resolved. Eventually, Orthotec was sold to a larger international company who closed the operation, thus leaving the initial aspirations of the company unfulfilled. Investors, management and employees all turned out losers in this conflict.
