Management participation processes in private equity

Management participations - how to make successful use of the onboarding process
Management participation programs have come to play an important role in the competition for top managers. Private equity investors in particular use participation programs to retain managers with entrepreneurial talent or, in the course of takeover processes, to align their interests with those of the management for the duration of the investment.
