Internationalization Of Management Buyouts: Firm Strategies And Venture Capitalist Contribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multivariate statistical analysis is utilized to explore the association between firm strategies, contributions made by venture capitalists and incentives for owners and employees and three exporting variables in a stratified random sample of 147 management buyouts and buyins. Firms focusing upon a diversified product/ service range and/or advertising were significantly more likely to be exporters. Firms focusing upon product/ service quality and financial efficiency and those with high proportions of employees receiving performance related pay were significantly less likely to be exporters. Manufacturing firms and firms focusing upon a diversified product/ service range and/or advertising were significantly more likely to report high percentages of sales exported. Variations in the proportion of sales exported over time were associated with strategies focused upon product/service quality and a diversified product/ service range.

متن کاملJoint Control and Redemption Rights in Venture Capital Contracts * Introduction

This contradicts theoretical predictions that joint control is suboptimal, except under some limited circumstances. I develop a theoretical model ...
