Case: Emerging Markets: The Private Equity Challenge
Initial Post Questions - post responses to the three questions below from the Chapter 11 Critical Discussion Questions and Closing Case 11.1:

2. If you were a private equity specialist, what kind of target firms would you look for?
3. If you were CEO of a publicly traded firm and were approached by a private equity firm, how would you proceed?
