Buyouts, information asymmetry and the family management dyad

Howorth, C., Westhead, P., & Wright, M. (2004)

Journal of Business Venturing, 19(4), 509-534

Eight private family firms that chose an MBO or MBI; interviews with former owners and buyout teams. Information asymmetries were widespread and exploited in price and structure; trust mitigated them; asymmetry was lower where the buyout was part of long-term strategy.
