Duff & Phelps: Scaling an Entrepreneurial Venture (B)
By: Lynda M. Applegate and David Lane
Abstract
In September 2005, Duff & Phelps closed on a deal to acquire a much larger firm that quadrupled its size to 500 employees. Almost immediately, the company faced challenging integration issues. Gottdiener and Silverman realize that they must now turn away from the thrill of deal-making to grapple with issues of organizational structure and management.
