Find a firm that was bought out by the management team - also known as a Management Buyout (MBO). This will most likely be a publicly traded company that was taken private by the management team, or in some cases there are private companies bought by the management team.

Share with the class you finding and what you think of the deal by answering these questions and maybe offering some of your own thoughts

• Was the management team able to keep the business successful or was this done as a turn-around situation?
• Did the team plan on taking the company back to being publicly traded or was the idea to keep it privately held?
• What was the financing deal?
