Post-Investment Value Addition to Buyouts: Analysis of European Private Equity Firms (2006)

Degenhard Meier explores the dimensions of post-investment value addition characterizing the interaction between private equity firms and their portfolio companies and derives plausible hypotheses which he tests in an innovative way, i.e. he takes the current discussion on alternative methods to structural equation modeling as a basis and develops this discussion further by shedding light on partial least squares - a variance-based approach to structural equation modeling.
