The project aims at exploring the issue of the relationship between private equity transactions and post acquisition performances for a selected sample of firms in Italy and UK. The main focus of the study is to investigate to what extent the characteristics of the deal, the specific features of the private equity firm and the nature of the exit strategies affect post acquisition performances.
