Abstract

The partners at Innova Capital, a leading mid-market private equity investor in Poland, must negotiate a transition of power between the two ex-patriate founders and three talented young Polish partners. If they fail to find an accomodation, the entire firm will self-destruct. This case explores the long-running process through which they were able to reach an agreement and the different motivations and goals that each partner wanted to achieve.
