Chairman: Louis V. Gerstner Carlyle is the largest private-equity firm, with many connections across business and politics, such as IBM ex-chief Louis Gerstner and former President George H.W. Bush, and recently, former Time editor Norman Pearlstine, who was named an adviser. The firm became Wall Street's first "$10 billion man," after raising $7.85 billion for U.S. investments and $2.2 billion for European purchases last March. Carlyle has also raised about $4.8 billion to target deals in Asia. In December, Carlyle partnered with Clayton, Dubilier & Rice and Merrill Lynch to buy Ford Motor's Hertz for $15 billion. It also was a key component in the acquisition of Dunkin' Brands for $2.43 billion. In May, Carlyle was part of one of the largest private-equity deals ever -- a $13.55 billion acquisition of oil-pipeline operator Kinder Morgan -- as well as one that snagged Dutch market research firm VNU for $9.84 billion. • Carlyle Plans Hedge Fund See less

Highlights: Private-equity firms are on a record-setting buying binge, expected to raise more than $300 billion this year, and their deals are taking on more heft.

Coopetition or Co-opetition is a buzzword coined to describe cooperative competition. Cartels are well-known examples of companies working together in order to limit competition. In contrast, co-opetition focuses on cooperation between companies in competitive markets. Examples of coopetition include Apple and Microsoft building closer ties on software development, and the cooperation between Peugeot and Toyota on a new city car for Europe in 2005. Other examples are Free and Open Source Software companies: They all contribute to the production of a software pool that anyone can use as a base for their own business model. Several different people claim to be the originator of the word coopetition. Jeannie Novak has been cited in one report[1], as has Raymond Noorda of Novell, [2], [3], as well as NASCAR Driver/Commentator Darrell Waltrip. [edit] See less
