UL Rev. Director primacy and shareholder disempowerment SM Bainbridge Harv.
The business judgment rule as abstention doctrine SM Bainbridge Vand. Why a board-group decisionmaking in corporate governance SM Bainbridge Vand.
As explained in Chapter 1 below, director primacy claims this is exactly backwards— directors hire factors of production, not vice versa. Third, director conduct is constrained by an active market for corporate control, ever-rising rates of shareholder litigation, and, some say, activist shareholders. Mike, of course, is not to be blamed for any misuses to which I have put his work here or elsewhere. Managerialism may have fallen out of favor as a normative theory of corporate governance, but it remains the work-a-day world reality. Accordingly, the concept of team production is simply inapt with respect to the large public corporations with which Blair and Stout are concerned. The drafters of the Model Business Corporation Act tell us that the corporation code of every state but one Missouri, whose code is oddly silent have some such formulation.
Abolishing veil piercing SM Bainbridge J. Community and statism: a conservative contractarian critique of progressive corporate law scholarship SM Bainbridge Cornell L.
Interpreting nonshareholder constituency statutes SM Bainbridge Pepp. Like coffee it seems to come in a bewildering number of varieties. Some politicians like it 'responsible' others 'moral' and still others 'popular'.
While some argue that it is time for shareholders to wield real power, others feel that that certain shareholders, notably hedge funds should sit on their hands, at least if they have bought shares after a takeover has been announced. Out on the streets the tents of the "occupy" protectors may be under threat but many are sympathetic to the view that bankers and board members have been rewarded for taking too many risks with other people's money.
In Corporate Governance: Theory and Practice , Dr Carol Padgett , a lecturer in finance at Henley Business School's ICMA Centre, explores these issues, considering why shareholders may not see themselves as owners of companies and examining new regulation designed to change this view. This new book covers a variety of other governance topics including directors' remuneration, using a wealth of examples from companies around the world. It is comprehensive and thorough in its coverage of an important and expanding topic.
