This book provides corporate law scholars and students and practitioners at law firms, advisory services firms and asset managers with a comprehensive and rigorous analysis of the financial, managerial, policy and legal issues arising from a key feature of today's corporate governance environment, namely, the dialogue between shareholders and corporate boards.
