Book excerpt: This thesis aims to contribute to the existing research on private equity in general and the value creation strategies of private equity firms within their portfolio companies, by analysing four different private equity companies with case studies. After summarizing background information regarding key definitions of private equity and giving a brief private equity market review, a detailed overview of existing levers regarding value creation is provided. The literature review leads to a comprehensive framework, which helps the reader to understand the interdependencies between the different levers and gives an overview on the value creation process. In addition, the framework concludes with vital aspects regarding the unique features of the private equity setup and its performance. Based on this theoretical foundation, the thesis analyses four different private equity companies in case studies. These case studies then result in a spider map, which visually summarizes the highlights and unique features of the private equity companies based on five key criteria. The key findings of this study confirm the assumed importance for private equity companies to widen their competency repertoire and pursue the full arsenal of value creation mechanisms to secure business success over the long term. Also, this study highlights the fact that there are different static organizational setups and dynamic applied methods of private equity firms to create value within their portfolio companies. However, each of the analysed private equity companies excel unique features in their approach to create value within their portfolio companies.
