| Abstract: | According to conventional wisdom, the corporate raiders and buy-out specialists who flourished in the 1980s were the anthithesis of good managers. Their goals of realizing quick profits from the acquisition of major companies - frequently through rapid cost-cutting and the break-up of conglomerates - made them the bane of old-school corporate leaders. In the past two years came the abatement of takeovers but the "barbarians" have not retreated. Instead , many have simply moved into the boardroom. Some of the consequences are highlighted. It is shown that in a number of important respects, the "barbarians" are successfully implementing the agenda of the gurus of good management. Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Co. is an example. |
