Abstract

Second of a three case series designed for two sessions (A and B & C) examining the process of building a successful venture capital investment. The syndicate decides to take the company private through a leveraged buy-out. Following the deal, the management team proceeds to redirect the business's strategy away from generic and toward ethical and OTC pharmaceuticals. By 1990, the situation of the venture capitalists' funds requires that they exit from the investment within the next few years. However, a recent attempt to sell the company has failed.
