Opis

In this highly original book, Mary O'Sullivan provides a critical analysis of the theoretical foundations for the idea that corporations should be run to maximize shareholder value and for the alternative perspective that corporations should be run in the interests of stakeholders. She embeds her arguments on the relation between corporate governance and economic performance in historical accounts of the dynamics of corporate growth in the United States and Germany during the twentieth century.

Recenzje

"...this book, based on detailed historical research in both countries, represents a powerful challenge to current orthodoxy. It also has the great merit of focusing attention on questions that really matter. Her answers should give admirers of American capitalism pause for thought." Geoffrey Owen, Financial Times, 14 June 2000.
