Succession still an issue
Article Abstract:
The number of buyout deals in Germany in 1996 is believed to be high, with deal value expected to be similar to the record 733 million pounds sterling achieved in 1994. Deal value fell to 540 million pounds sterling in 1995, although the number of deals reached a record 74 from 59 in 1994. Buyout sourcing changed dramatically in 1995, with family-owned businesses accounting for under one-sixth of buyouts compared with 40% in 1994. Small firms should benefit from the proposed formation of a new stock market segment.

A market of two halves
Article Abstract:
The management buyout markets in Sweden and Finland are fairly well established, while those of Norway and Denmark remain rather underdeveloped. Finland saw deals worth 239 million pounds sterling in 1994, a record level, with divestments by local parents accounting for two thirds of buyouts, a similar level to that seen in Sweden. Finland and Sweden are seen as having good prospects, while the opportunities for buyouts in Denmark and Norway are likely to remain limited.
