Dieses Buch stellt das gesamte Spektrum der Anlageklasse Private Equity systematisch dar und bietet eine umfassende und zugleich kompakte Grundlage für dieses Wissensgebiet. Der inhaltli­che Schwerpunkt liegt zunächst auf der Erläuterung der wichtigsten Private-Equity-Investment­strategien wie Venture Capital, Growth Capital, Leveraged Buyouts, Distressed Assets und Mezzanine Finance. Darauf aufbauend werden unterschiedliche Zugangsmöglichkeiten zu der Anlageklasse, wie Investitionen in Private-Equity-Fonds, Fund-of-Funds-Strukturen sowie der Kauf von Aktien börsennotierter Private-Equity-Manager erklärt. Wichtige Zielgruppen sind Mitar­beiter institutioneller Investoren wie Pensionskassen und Vermögensverwaltungsgesellschaften, Mitarbeiter von Family Offices sowie vermögende Privatinvestoren, die überwiegend über Fonds­vehikel in die Anlageklasse investieren. Aufgrund seiner durchgehenden Systematik eignet sich das Buch jedoch auch als Lehrbuch im Hochschulstudium sowie als Nachschlagewerk für Invest­ment Professionals in der Private-Equity-Branche.Der Inhalt<ul><li>Einführung</li><li>Private-Equity-Direktbeteiligungen</li><li>Private Equity Fonds</li><li>Private Equity Dachfonds</li><li>Aktien börsennotierter Private-Equity-Manager als Anlagemöglichkeit</li><li>Gesamtwirtschaftliche Auswirkungen von Private Equity</li></ul>Die AutorenMehdi Mostowfi ist Professor für Finance an der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissen­schaften (ZHAW). Er ist stellvertretender Leiter des Instituts für Financial Management und Leiter der Fachstelle Corporate Finance &amp; Capital Markets. Sein beruflicher Werdegang umfasst Tätig­keiten als Senior Investment Manager für Private-Equity-Investitionen bei der Deutschen Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft (DEG), als Investment Banker bei Morgan Stanley sowie als Berater bei McKinsey &amp; Company im Corporate Finance &amp; Strategy Practice.&nbsp;Fabian Danko ist Dozent und stellvertretender Leiter der Fachstelle Corporate Finance &amp; Capital Markets an der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften (ZHAW). Fabian Danko hält einen Master of Arts in Accounting and Finance der Universität St. Gallen (HSG) und verfügt über mehr als 10 Jahre Erfahrung in den Bereichen M&amp;A und Private Equity. In seiner letzten Funktion bei einem Schweizer Private-Equity-Unternehmen war er für die Transaktionsstruktur sowie die finanzielle Due Diligence der Akquisitionen verantwortlich.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dieses Buch deckt das gesamte Spektrum der Anlageklasse Private Equity systematisch ab und präsentiert eine methodisch-didaktische, umfassende und dennoch kompakte Grundlage für dieses Wissensgebiet. Die inhaltliche Zielsetzung des Buches besteht in der Vermittlung von wissenschaftlich fundiertem, in der Praxis gut verwertbarem Wissen auf dem Gebiet Direct Private Equity Investmentstrategien (Venture Capital, Growth Capital, Leveraged Buyouts, Distressed Assets und Mezzanine Finance), Private Equity Fonds (mit jeweiligem Fokus auf eine der Direct PE Investment Strategien) sowie auf Fund of Private Equity Funds (Primaries, Secondaries und Co-Investments). Nachdem sich die Zielgruppe des Buches neben Studierenden und Wissernschaftlern in erster Linie aus Mitarbeitern von institutionellen Investoren (von Pensionskassen, Vermögenswaltungsgesellschaften und Family Offices) und vermögenden Privatinvestoren bildet, die in der Regel über die Vehikel PE Fonds und PE Fund-of-Funds in diese Anlageklasse investieren, soll der Schwerpunkt des Buches auf der Darstellung dieser Anlageformen liegen. Neben einem grundlegenden Verständnis der Produkte/ Investitionsvehikel soll der Leser mit der grundsätzlichen Vorgehensweise bei ihrer Analyse und Bewertung vertraut gemacht und hierdurch unter anderem befähigt werden, selbstständig eine Due Diligence im Vorfeld einer Investition in Private Equity Fonds (oder Fund of Funds) durchzuführen. Für die Analyse und Prüfung von PE-Fonds ist jedoch ein gutes Verständnis der Direct PE Investmentstrategien unerlässlich. Daher wird im Anschluss an das Einführungskapitel (über PE als Anlageklasse) zunächst in diese Thematik (PE-Strategien, Bewertung von Direct PE-Investitionen und Exit-Strategien) eingeführt, bevor die Themen PE Fonds und PE Fund-of-Funds ausführlich behandelt werden. In Zusammenhang (und Abgrenzung) zu PE-Fonds wird das Buch auch auf neuere Alternative Anlageformen in Private Equity (wie zum Beispiel Crowd-Investing) eingehen. Des Weiteren ist das Buch unseres Wissens die erste Monografie, die über die genannten Anlageformen hinaus auch auf die Möglichkeit der Investition in börsennotierte Manager (als Alternative zu PE-Fondsinvestitionen) eingehen und deren Gemeinsamkeiten/Unterschiede zu Investitionen in (von den Managern verwalteten) Fonds herausstellen wird.&nbsp;

Routledge Studies in the History of Marketing

This book addresses the need to understand marketing practices in the context of the rich and varied history of India. Such an understanding will not only enrich marketing as a discipline, but also provide marketers and academics with valuable insights into the cultures and behaviors of Indian consumers. By analysing historical writings on business in India over 2000 years, and providing a coherent narrative of the marketing practices during these periods, it critically engages with the larger socio-economic structures which influenced, and were influenced by these practices. All scholars of marketing history will find this a fascinating and unique assessment of a highly significant market.

The concepts and practices of marketing, as well as the ideologies that impel these, are rooted in specific social and cultural contexts, predominantly those of the USA, and Europe. Moreover, the Western dominance of marketing thought permeates it with Western values such as individualism and rationalism. This has led to important contexts outside these traditions such as India being overlooked. India has an enormously rich and varied culture and history, and this book addresses the need to understand marketing practices within this diverse context. Such an understanding will not only enrich marketing as a discipline, but also provide both Western and Indian marketers and academics with valuable insights into the cultures and behaviors of Indian consumers. By analysing historical writings on business in India from the BCE period to the current period, and providing a coherent narrative of the marketing practices during these periods, it critically engages with the larger socio-economic structures which influenced, and were influenced by these practices. All scholars of marketing history will find this a fascinating and unique assessment of a highly significant market.

Life is a use-it-or-lose-it proposition. Shouldn’t you spend it doing something you love? This book will teach you how to find your dream job and avoid a career you’ll regret—from a leading venture capitalist, based on his viral college talk. “Fantastic. A variety of useful insights and examples that converge into one story that underlies remarkable success in nearly any field: The relentless hunger to learn about the thing you love.”—James Clear, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Atomic Habits For many young people, the path to success feels like a conveyor belt—onto the next test, the next application, the next college—without ever stopping to ask what do I actually want to do with my life? Parents know the pressure can be overwhelming, yet the system pushes everyone forward anyway. After college Bill Gurley landed a job at a famous tech company. It should have been a dream come true—but he was surprisingly bored. So, Gurley leapt into the unknown, eventually finding his place in the world of venture capital, the beginning of a remarkable investing career. It turns out, Gurley’s happy ending is rare. Nearly six in ten people would do things differently if they could start over. This is the trap of “career regret.” So how can we avoid it? What can we learn from people at the top of their fields who love what they do? The culmination of Gurley’s decade-long project to unpack the components of success, Runnin’ Down a Dream identifies six principles to flourish in your chosen career: the antidotes to career regret. From developing “obsessive” curiosity to the art of building strong peer groups, these timeless principles add up to a playbook not just for success, but a purpose-filled life. Written in Gurley’s straight-talk voice and revealing the captivating stories of industry titans like talent agent Lorrie Bartlett, restaurateur Danny Meyer, and sports executive Sam Hinkie, Runnin’ Down a Dream will inspire a new generation to find their place in the world, while offering a much-needed rebuttal to the idea that hustle and happiness are incompatible.

How to Thrive in a Career You Actually Love

Runnin' Down a Dream

The Right Call is for leaders who recognise that ethics is not an afterthought but the architecture of every meaningful decision. As choices become embedded in systems, policies and technologies, the quality of an organisation's ethical reasoning shapes outcomes long before a dilemma becomes visible. This book shows how to strengthen that capability.It begins by translating the four major ethical traditions into decision tools leaders can use in real time. Virtue, duty, consequences and care become practical ways of diagnosing tensions, clarifying what is at stake and understanding how values guide judgement under pressure. The book then examines the organisational infrastructure of decision-making, showing how language, power and informal norms shape what people call the right thing to do. Through diagnostic templates and research-based insights, readers learn to surface assumptions, identify cultural blind spots and create conditions where integrity can scale. The INTEGRITI(TM) model, a disciplined nine-step approach to leading values-based conversations, provides a clear method for turning intent into action, navigating stakeholder tensions and embedding integrity into everyday practice.This is a book for anyone responsible for choices that carry consequences.

First published in 1981, The British Business Elite is a study of the attitudes to class, status and power of top businessmen in Great Britain, based upon first-hand interviews with chairmen, chief executives and other directors of Britain's largest industrial, banking and insurance companies: men of genuine wealth and power.

The British Business Elite

Wie kann ein Unternehmen in Zeiten unerbittlichen Wettbewerbs nachhaltiges und effizientes Wachstum erzielen? Ji Qi, der Architekt dreier an der NASDAQ notierter Unternehmen - Ctrip, Home Inns und schließlich der H World Group -, liefert in diesem wegweisenden Werk tiefgründige Antworten und Reflexionen. Mehr als eine Autobiografie ist dieses Buch eine transformative Denklandkarte, die philosophische Betrachtungen, wissenschaftliche Prinzipien und hart erarbeitete Geschäftspraktiken miteinander verbindet. Ji Qi argumentiert, dass bahnbrechender Erfolg einen grundlegenden Wandel erfordert: von der reinen Gewinnmaximierung hin zur Schaffung echten Mehrwerts. Er zeigt auf, wie das Streben eines Gründers nach Wahrheit, Güte und Schönheit die Unternehmenskultur, das Produktdesign und das bleibende Vermächtnis prägt. Darüber hinaus wird die Entwicklung seiner H World Group zu einer eindrucksvollen Parabel unserer Zeit, die veranschaulicht, wie "disruptive Innovation" ein Akt der Neugestaltung ist und wie "Einfachheit" die höchste Form der Raffinesse darstellt.

Despite the expansion of female employment, women continue to be crowded into a small number of occupations which, in the main, represent low-paid jobs. This key book analyzes this issue and examines one route of escape: self-employment.

The skills that built your business will destroy it if you don't evolve.

You created value by operating, deciding, and leading from the front. But companies that depend on founders die with them - not from competition, but from continuity failure. The hardest shift in business isn't growth. It's stepping back from operations while ensuring strategic discipline that outlives you.

Most owners get this transition wrong. They cling to running the company or walk away entirely. Both choices destroy value.

Whether you're an owner stepping back, a CEO navigating ownership dynamics, a board member seeking oversight clarity, a CFO bridging operations and ownership, or a family office protecting generational wealth-this is your evolution manual. Not theory-systems. Not advice-architecture. Not wishful thinking-what actually endures.

You'll learn how to:

Shape strategy without running execution
Judge CEOs and management without interference
Build succession that sustains value, not personalities
Allocate capital with discipline that outlasts leadership
Create governance that protects performance across generations

Ownership is not a reward for building a business.

It is a responsibility to protect what survives without you.

How Non-Executive Owners Build Companies That Outlive Them

The Strategic Steward

How corporations can address legacies of historical oppression in ways that are good for them and good for others. Increasingly, corporate executives find themselves called upon to atone for their predecessors’ moral transgressions. While many are prepared to address inherited failed product lines or dysfunctional teams, few know how to handle demands that their enterprise address legacies of mass atrocity such as slavery, genocide, or colonialism. In Corporate Reckoning, Sarah Federman provides a corporate atonement model for corporate leaders and employees across industries around the world. When survivors and descendants demand reckoning, many corporate leaders initially shirk the responsibilities that follow from these requests. They may claim that history belongs to the historians, that their company’s activities were legal at the time, or that too much time has passed. If it comes to it, courts will rule in their favor, they reassure themselves. Others avoid these issues simply because they have no idea how to address them. Demands for reckoning ebb and flow, but these histories do not disappear. This book offers a way forward that serves companies and those affected by these historical harms. Taking responsibility for irreparable harm is not easy or comfortable. Despite the dilemmas and difficulties, the only way out is through.

How Businesses Can Address Historical Wrongs

Corporate Reckoning

The Principles of Family Business Law offers an accessible approach to legal issues that shape family businesses. Drawing on years of research, the book introduces three principles - intimacy, integration, and inheritance - that explain why family businesses are distinctive and how, with proper guidance, they can thrive. The book examines recurring problems such as role conflicts among family members, succession planning obstacles, and ownership disputes. Vivid case studies illustrate how legal rules interact with family dynamics in practice. Designed for scholars, students, lawyers, and business advisors, the book integrates insights from corporate law, family law, and estate planning, while remaining readable and grounded in real-world concerns. Whether used in the classroom or in practice, it provides essential tools for navigating the complex interplay of law and family business. By supporting the resilience of family businesses, the book affirms the family and community values they help to sustain.
