Opis

This volume describes how listed companies are controlled in nine different European countries, and includes a chapter on the USA, allowing transatlantic comparison. Each country study provides an analysis of standardized measures of the size and distribution of voting power, and then explores the aspects of corporate control that are most prominent in the country concerned.

Recenzje

This book gives the first comprehensive picture of large corporate holdings in the EU and will become a standard reference book on the subject.
