Management Buyouts (MBOs) first came to prominence in the US during
the early 1980s, and have subsequently become a global phenomenon
and a highly significant transaction within the corporate
restructuring landscape Although much recent attention has focused
on private equity (PE) backed buyouts, these are only a subset of
the total MBO market. The Routledge Companion to Management Buyouts
takes a much broader definition, reviewing the current state of
research and theory and where further developments are likely to
occur and incorporating PE and non-PE backed buyouts, as well as
variations such as management buy-ins and management-employee
buyouts. It goes beyond the purely financial perspective, exploring
the many different aspects of management buyouts and incorporating
related disciplines including strategy, organizational change, and
HRM providing the first truly comprehensive authoritative resource
on the topic. Expertly edited, and drawing on international
scholarship, this unique volume will be an invaluable sourcebook on
MBOs for researchers and advanced students as well as those
interested in the broader areas of corporate restructuring and
ownership change.

Confronting Urban Legacy fills a critical lacuna in urban
scholarship. As almost all of the literature focuses on global
cities and megacities, smaller, secondary cities, which actually
hold the majority of the world's population, are either critically
misunderstood or unexamined in their entirety. This neglect not
only biases scholars' understanding of social and spatial dynamics
toward very large global cities but also maintains a void in
students' learning. This book specifically explores the
transformative relationship between globalization and urban
transition in Hartford, Connecticut, while including crucial
comparative chapters on other forgotten New England cities:
Portland, Maine, along with Lawrence and Springfield,
Massachusetts. Hartford's transformation carries a striking imprint
of globalization that has been largely missed: from its 17th
century roots as New England first inland colonial settlement, to
its emergence as one of the world's most prosperous manufacturing
and insurance metropolises, to its present configuration as one of
America's poorest post-industrial cities, which by still retaining
a globally lucrative FIRE Sector is nevertheless surrounded by one
of the nation's most prosperous metropolitan regions. The myriad of
dilemmas confronting Hartford calls for this book to take an
interdisciplinary approach. The editors' introduction places
Hartford in a global comparative perspective; Part I provides rich
historical delineations of the many rises and (not quite) falls of
Hartford; Part II offers a broad contemporary treatment of Hartford
by dissecting recent immigration and examining the demographic and
educational dimensions of the city-suburban divide; and Part III
unpacks Hartford's current social, economic, and political
situation and discusses what the city could become. Using the
lessons from this book on Hartford and other underappreciated
secondary cities in New England, urban scholars, leaders, and
residents alike can gain a number of essential insights-both
theoretical and practical.
