Course Title:
Issues in Corporate Control
Course Description:
Examines the nature of conflicts over control of the corporation, which often erupt as proxy fights or hostile takeover attempts. Such conflicts cause scholars, managers, shareholders, and legislators to reexamine fundamental beliefs regarding the nature of the publicly held corporation. While applying modern finance theory and practice to understand the issues raised, the course also draws on seminal works in finance and economics literature that influence current debates in this area. Addresses the legal and ethical considerations especially important in corporate control issues. Uses cases involving well-known takeovers, as well as current hostile takeover battles, to illustrate the theories discussed.
