The chemical industry has now been in transition for some years, mainly due to the trend of focussing on core businesses, Therefore, companies try to getting rid of those activities where a leading position can not be reached.
Financial investors are increasingly buying these businesses through management buy outs. Especially in the chemical industry the importance of buy outs will increase, as the portfolio management of the traditional chemical companies and the competencies of buy outs supplement each other.
In the pharma industry large buy outs are rare, although a number of current examples show that there is here now an interesting trend towards buy out activities.
This book should help managers and others who are interested in buy outs, specifically in the chemical and pharma industry, to better understand the process and success factors.
Competent experts from different areas give a founded overview on this subject. The book also includes practical examples from the chemical and pharma industry.
