Search to Success: Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition

What you'll get

Harvard Business School professor Richard Ruback leads an online discussion with alumni and students of a podcast case about Geoff Duckworth, a consultant who left that job, searched within driving distance of home without outside investors and bought a small equipment business, with Duckworth himself joining at the end. It is an academic session about a manufacturer rather than a service firm, but the talk about local searching, family strain and what a seller wants helps you judge whether buying fits your life.
