What are examples of differentiated approaches to classical buyout PE

I've heard from a number of sources that a good way to go about buyside recruiting is to identify a certain strategy/investment style and look at firms that fulfill that criteria. Having looked at the 'fund strategy' tab for a few MM/UMM buyout fund websites it seems as though they all share a common theme of 'management-lead' or 'operational/strategic improvements' with different industry focuses. Are there actually different approaches to MM/UMM buyout and, if so, what are some examples?
