Corporate Ownership and Control

British Business Transformed

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Much discussion on corporate governance assumes companies are owned and controlled separately, yet this is not the norm worldwide. This book explores the foundations of separation in UK companies, asking how the widely held company came to prominence and why and how the UK stock market came to be dominated by institutional shareholders.
