This book examines the effects of hostile takeovers, their
impact on regional economies and industries, and the policy
implications of such takeovers for both the corporation and the
public sector. The book's contributors present arguments for and
against corporate takeovers, identifying both the strong and weak
points on each side. Then, they consider economic, legal, ethical
and geographical issues--particularly interregional issues, legal
difficulties involving different levels of governement, and
interstate differences. "Pension World"
The ongoing trend of hostile corporate takeovers has been
discussed at some length in the press and in the business
literature. However, even as terms like golden parachutes,
greenmail, and white knights enter the popular lexicon, little has
been written about the effects, real or potential, that specific
takeovers may have upon the economic base of metropolitan areas,
states, or regions that house individual corporate operations. This
volume represents a systematic attempt to fill that gap by
examining the effects of hostile takeovers, their impact on
regional economies and industries, and the policy implications of
such takeovers for both the corporation and the public sector.
The contributors begin by presenting arguments for and against
corporate takeovers, identifying both the strong and weak points on
each side of the debate. They then turn to a consideration of
economic, legal, ethical, and geographical issues, paying
particular attention to interregional issues, legal difficulties
involving different levels of government, and interstate
differences. Separate chapters are also devoted to foreign direct
investment in the United States and the impact of federal tax
policy on the takeover process. The contributors conclude with an
overview of the corporate impact of takeovers and specific policy
recommendations.
