Recommendation
American companies have lost thousands of workers, innovative ideas and possibly their future existence to “activist investors” whose only concern is for the shareholder’s immediate profit. Uncovering the strategies of such investors, Atlantic staff writer Alana Semuels shows why short-term gains, layoffs, and R&D termination aren’t in the best interests of the company or the country. getAbstract recommends this article to business leaders, stock market investors and economy enthusiasts.
