Summary
A central question addressed in this book has been how, and for what purposes, private equity firms design governance systems for their portfolio companies and, separately, whether these systems – and the incentives of the decision-makers that populate them – make it more or less likely that private equity investors will be responsible stewards of the companies they own. In these concluding remarks, I address each of these issues in turn.
