Abstract
This article analyzes from a private equity perspective select lessons from Howard Marks’ recently published book, The Most Important Thing (Columbia University Press, 2011). Marks specializes in credit value investments, thus private equity investors may overlook the applicability of his book to their activities.Value realization requires a differentiated approach to strategy, focusing not only on value proposition differentiation—which is the primary focus of the strategy literature—but also on search and capital allocation differentiation and may not necessarily involve the use of “stretch targets,” commonly used today. Irrespective of the management approach, however, the primary activity is to manage the risk of value destruction.
