The potential for buyouts in the Asia Pacific region

Article Abstract:

The Asia Pacific region has seen increasing expansion in business yet few management buyouts are occurring, even though some $30 billion was spent on private equity investment, during 1995. Buyouts have not become a feature of the Asian market because many of the large companies are family owned and they prefer to retain all of their assets. It is predicted buyouts could become more popular but finding good quality local management, for buyouts, may become a problem. Much of the private equity has been invested in new companies or funding expansion plans.
