Recommendation
Since the 1990s, maximizing shareholder value has been a major mission of company executives in the United States and abroad.

In fact, Montier claims that stock buybacks and other actions designed to enhance shareholder value produce tangible benefits only for those with substantial equity-based rewards. getAbstract recommends his witty, engaging and research-based “tirade” on shareholder value to executives, board directors and others responsible for assuring good corporate governance.
