In this insightful book, Orit Gadies and Hugh MacArthur reveal how the winning principles and methods of successful private equity firms can benefit any entrepreneur or business. Drawing on their experience in managing Bain & Company, they distil the core strategies used by top private equity investors, centred on developing a clear 3–5-year strategic vision to unlock a company’s full potential. The authors demonstrate how implementing these proven private equity techniques can significantly boost a company’s competitiveness, drawing on the fact that private equity has become a cornerstone investment for the world's wealthiest families and top university endowments, outperforming even shares and real estate over the long term.
