What is the cause of many private equity funds in the digi\u00adtal age making <\/strong>are making the wrong invest\u00adment decis\u00adi\u00adons and miss\u00ading out on attrac\u00adtive invest\u00adment opportunities?<\/strong>
\nleave it to the left? In disrup\u00adtive times, tradi\u00adtio\u00adnal evalua\u00adtion patterns help <\/strong>while the compe\u00adtence to thoroughly test temp\u00adting digi\u00adtal concepts is not<\/strong>

A \u201cvictim of digi\u00adtiza\u00adtion\u201d is usually unders\u00adtood to mean the small specialty retailer around the corner that closed its doors the other day, or perhaps one of those yello\u00adwing depart\u00adment store chains that only survive by means of adven\u00adtur\u00adous perma\u00adnent discounts and layoffs. In the process, one forgets that the latter in parti\u00adcu\u00adlar are actually only the visi\u00adble shell of a much larger fail\u00adure. Behind the crumbling fa\u00e7ade of the old-estab\u00adlished retail trade, horren\u00addous sums of inves\u00adted capi\u00adtal are being destroyed day in, day out.<\/p>\n

It should be a great mystery to us why private equity funds conti\u00adnue to blithely invest milli\u00adons in statio\u00adnary retail concepts that most analysts rightly regard as unsus\u00adtainable. Espe\u00adci\u00adally since these funds cannot ignore the fact that the affec\u00adted areas of their port\u00adfo\u00adlios are performing rather poorly. Thus, decis\u00adi\u00adons to retain or even expand such posi\u00adti\u00adons are actually only under\u00adstan\u00adda\u00adble if one assu\u00admes that the invest\u00adment mana\u00adgers are pursuing a hard-core opti\u00admiza\u00adtion approach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":40409,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"wp_typography_post_enhancements_disabled":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2452,2457,2483],"product_tag":[1470,1483,1490,1494,1507,1512,1517,1519,1523,1524],"class_list":{"0":"post-43854","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-ebook-en","7":"product_cat-fyb-2019","8":"product_cat-nils-seebach-en","9":"product_tag-investment-decisions","10":"product_tag-investment-opportunities","11":"product_tag-digital-concepts","12":"product_tag-digital-due-diligence-en","13":"product_tag-victims-of-digitization","14":"product_tag-trade-concepts","15":"product_tag-optimization-approach","16":"product_tag-nils-seebach-en","17":"product_tag-forest-meadow-holding","18":"product_tag-etribes-connect-ltd","19":"pa_ausgabe-deutsch-en","20":"pa_ausgabe-englisch-en","22":"first","23":"outofstock","24":"taxable","25":"shipping-taxable","26":"purchasable","27":"product-type-variable"},"yoast_head":"\nPrivate equity is dead - long live private equity - FYB Financial Yearbook<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fyb.de\/en\/produkt\/private-equity-is-dead-long-life-private-equity\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Private equity is dead - long live private equity - FYB Financial Yearbook\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"What is the cause of many private equity funds in the digital age making are making the wrong investment decisions and missing out on attractive investment opportunities? leave it to the left?
