Richard K. Lenz analyses how LBOs evolve after the financial investors have exited. Based on three case studies of former LBOs in Germany, he shows that performance decline is often related to the weakening of the former performance-enhancing series of governance instruments.

Die elektronische Datenverarbeitung dringt immer mehr in alle Lebensbereiche vor. Computer werden immer leistungsfahiger und preiswerter. Im Rahmen dieser Tendenzen wachst auch die Speicherkapazitat der Rechner mit jeder neuen Rechnergeneration. Als entscheidender Faktor der Entwicklung in den letzten Jahren ist jedoch die weltweite Ver- netzung von Rechnern zu nennen, die es ermoeglicht hat, dass in kurzester Zeit viele neue Anwendungsgebiete erschlossen wurden und neue, stark expandierende Wirtschafts- zweige entstanden sind. Vielfach wird das Zeitalter der Informationstechnologie heute schon proklamiert. Information ist zu einer kostbaren Ressource geworden, die genutzt werden kann und muss, um die Konkurrenzfahigkeit von Unternehmen sicherzustellen. Angesichts dieser Entwicklung ist es nicht verwunderlich, dass der Verfugbarkeit von Da- ten eine zunehmend grosse Bedeutung beigemessen wird. Die Replikation von Daten ist das wichtigste und effektivste Mittel zur Erreichung einer hohen Verfugbarkeit in verteil- ten Datenverwaltungssystemen. Durch Replikation wird die Zugriffslokalitat ermoeglicht, die fur akzeptable Antwortzeiten oft vorausgesetzt werden muss. Da die Speicherkapazi- tat der Rechner einen standig geringer werdenden Kostenfaktor darstellt, lohnt sich die Replikation von Daten, zumindest bei Daten, die selten geandert werden, immer mehr.

Diploma Thesis from the year 1999 in the subject Engineering - Mechanical Engineering, grade: 1, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, language: English, abstract: The following thesis elucidates the impact of the product design and the product development process on the design of a manufacturing system. In contrast to integrate constraints and restrictions of the manufacturing system and its processes into the initial design of a product, attributes and characteristics of the product design are analyzed by the way they influence and restrict the design of a manufacturing system. The upcoming hypothesis of this thesis claims latter approach to be the natural and logical one. A sophisticated design theory known as Axiomatic Design Suh 1990] is used to embed the design of a manufacturing system into the design of the product and the product development system. The generic derivation of such an integrated design framework will allow a broad application to manufacturing and product development system design. The following paragraph outlines the background and the issues related to the motivation for this thesis. In the next step, the thesis objectives and hypothesis are stated, marking the scope and content of this academic discussion. Finally, a brief overview is provided about the content and structure of each chapter.
