But we can't avoid the question that greatly influences upon social economic life, we should study it theoretically. This thesis is on legal problems on MBO of listed companies in China.The thesis aims at studying the MBO of listed companies in China. In order to study MBO deeply, this thesis has fully absorbed the achievement of the economics research. In this thesis, the author has combined law science with economics and used the comparative study, standard study, just to review the MBO of listed companies of our country, to discuss its feasibility and validity, to clarify the confusion of MBO on system, the final aim is to prepare for legislation on MBO.The whole thesis is divided into four chapters and the main content is set as the following:The first chapter is to sum up the definition, evolvement history of MBO and to explain MBO in economic theory.
