Abstract:     
This paper explores the dynamic interactions between entrepreneurs and politicians in transition China through an unconventional lens of management buyouts (MBOs). Specifically we identify two contrasting outcomes of entrepreneur-politician alliances: Privatization buyouts by entrepreneurs and failed MBOs implying the collapse of the original alliance. Drawing on the rent appropriation literature, we treat Chinese MBOs as a bargaining, clarification, and redistribution of organizational rent between entrepreneurs and politicians, and further develop a model of entreprepreneur-politician bargaining that identifies the determinants of varying rent bargaining (MBO) outcomes.
