Abstract

This compilation of five vignettes depicts common challenges confronting venture capital and leveraged buyout groups. They range from when to deviate from a strategy and how to manage an inept but well-connected executive to equity splits among founders and whether to invest more money in a promising but struggling company. The final vignette summarizes the Simmons Bedding bankruptcy saga.
