Abstract: | This study examines the nature of post-transaction restructuring activities for 32 large USA corporations that underwent management buy-outs (MBO) between 1983-1989. The study provides evidence on the extent and type of divestment and acquisition activities under private ownership, documents the outcomes associated with MBO's and the longevity of the buy-out organization, and investigates the claim that buy-outs are primarily mechanisms for breaking up public corporations and selling the pieces to related acquirers. |
