Description

This is a textbook on the most important development in business during the 1980s. The abuses and excesses of the takeover era and the exponential growth of the institutional investor have transformed the roles of the shareholders, managers, and directors of publicly held companies. This book explains how it happened, where it is going, and what the impact will be. It includes case studies on blue chip companies such as American Express, Eastman Kodak, General Motors, Sears Roebuck and Time Warner, as well as selected outside materials and should be useful as a resource for students of business, law and public policy. Robert Monks and Nell Minow are both long-time scholars of corporate governance. They have lectured and published widely in this field, with more than fifty articles and two books. They have also been at the forefront of shareholders' activism themselves, leading shareholder initiatives at companies like Sears, Westinghouse, Kodak and Borden.
