He argues that corporate governance was transformed during this period into speculative teams of stock-optioned executives and activist owners. These teams encouraged a vigorous restructuring of American industry through corporate buyouts, takeovers, reengineering, and downsizing."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Corporate governance -- United States Corporate reorganizations -- United States Corporations -- Valuation -- United States Speculation -- United States BUSINESS & ECONOMICS -- Infrastructure.
