  • One False Move for Years, Investing Legend DAVID BONDERMAN Could Do No Wrong. and Then He Tried to Buy a Utility from Enron. By
    One False Move For years, investing legend DAVID BONDERMAN could do no wrong. And then he tried to buy a utility from Enron. By NICHOLAS VARCHAVER April 4, 2005 (FORTUNE Magazine) – THEY'RE THE KINGS of American business these days. Private equity firms, hedge funds, and their cash-laden ilk have been pulling the levers of capitalism, with investors you've never heard of amassing billions and buying corporate icons like Sears. Among this extremely quiet species, David Bonderman is as dominant as they come. He has earned a reputation as a master dealmaker, a tornado of a man spinning equal parts brilliance, energy, and charm inside his ever-moving vortex. His private equity partnership, Texas Pacific Group, has massive throw-weight. The firm says it has $20 billion under management--a gaudy sum that includes a series of under-the-radar Texas Pacific affiliates in the U.S. and Asia. That war chest puts the firm in the top tier of buyout funds and dwarfs those of raiders like Carl Icahn or even hedge fund upstarts like Eddie Lampert. Just in the U.S., Texas Pacific controls companies with annual revenues of $35 billion. If it were a public company, it would rank at No. 51 on the FORTUNE 500, somewhere between Motorola and Lockheed Martin. Like any private equity firm, Texas Pacific, which is based in Fort Worth and San Francisco, gathers cash from pension funds and wealthy investors and uses it to buy control of companies. What sets it apart from its peers is its reputation for taking on risky, unfixable companies--and then devoting serious resources to fixing them.

  • In the Shadow of the Presidency: Presidential Management and the Influence of Cabinet Secretaries
    In the Shadow of the Presidency: Presidential Management and the Influence of Cabinet Secretaries by John C. Koehler A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 7, 2016 Approved by Gerard S. Gryski, Chair, Curtis O. Liles Professor Emeritus of Political Science Cynthia Bowling, Professor of Political Science Linda Dennard, Professor of Political Science William Franko, Assistant Professor of Political Science Abstract Scholars today recognize weaknesses in the president’s ability to pass significant legislation. I ask how presidents can increase their overall influence. They must look internally at their management style and the organization of the Executive Branch. They must also improve their relationship with other political actors, namely Congress and interest groups. Several studies have looked at presidential organization focusing on White House staff and other parts of the Executive Office of the President, such as the Office of Management and Budgeting. I suggest that cabinet secretaries are an overlooked presidential resource. How helpful a resource are cabinet secretaries and how can they be utilized? It depends upon a president’s management style – their level of involvement and the level of clarity with which they give direction. This study provides a typology of four different managerial approaches of modern presidents and analyzes four cases to highlight the importance of cooperation and coordination with Executive Department heads in policy-making. I conclude that secretaries can help the president influence Congress and interest groups. The working relationship that the president has with their cabinet members affects how an administration makes decisions, which proposals it supports, as well as the legislative success of those proposals.
