Private equity funds implement various management and governance practices in firms they endorse, signaling higher quality of sponsored IPOs (Initial Public Offer). However, the participation of such PE funds comes at a cost for newcomer firms, as they may lose both autonomy and future post-IPO earnings.

The question of whether narcissists are more creative than peers has attracted much scholarly attention in both psychology and organizational management sciences.
