What's Next
By: Richard S. Ruback and Royce Yudkoff
Abstract
Is there a typical long-term career path for people who become entrepreneurs through acquisition? What choices do searchers and investors make subsequent to their first search? The former searchers profiled here identified five common longer-term career paths and shared insights about the choices they made. Importantly, these five common choices were pursued by searchers independent of whether their initial search had been a financial success. After seeking to buy and run a smaller firm, these searchers later made varying choices about "What's Next?"
