A strategic analysis of a private equity financial services firm

I would like to thank my team mates Tracy Tong, Allan Dorff, Geoff Fawkes and Roger Kemp for their intellect, spirit and friendship. Feeling that I was on the best team possible made a difference to every class and weekly meeting. Special heartfelt thanks are owed to my parents for their constant, lifelong love and support. In particular I am indebted to my father. His genes-at least a few of which I inheritedhelped me immeasurably. As well, his first-semester editing swiftly sharpened my grammatical skills! Finally, I owe thanks to God, whose strength and wisdom I felt so many times throughout this journey.
