Arms boom instead of car crisis? Berlin’s industrial fantasy shattered by reality

The Due Diligence Private Equity Still Gets Wrong: Human Capital
Most due diligences can slice the numbers a thousand ways. Markets, models, margins – all dissected surgical precision. But the one factor that decides whether any of it turns into performance — the people expected to deliver — is still often checked last, or lightly, or not at all.
