External transaction strategies & their outcomes
Firms’ unique combinations of resources and capabilities represent idiosyncratic sources of advantage or challenges for those firms’ external transactions. In my research, I study the relationship between firms’ resources and capabilities and their external transactions strategies and outcomes in a variety of contexts.
Below are some general themes in my research and recently published work. For details, please refer to my CV.
Research themes:
How do private equity firms consistently create value and generate returns by buying, owning, and selling businesses?
What happens when corporations divest to private equity buyers or buy PE-owned businesses?
When do activist investors and PE firms collaborate and when do they compete for returns, and what are the implications for shareholder value?
When are firms better off simultaneously using a mix of acquisitions, alliances, and minority investments in pursuit of their strategic goals?
