U.S. companies are still reeling from the takeovers, leveraged
buyouts, junk bond issues, re-capitalizations, and other financial
restructuring transactions that reshaped corporations in the 1980s.
In this book, distinguished economists and scholars in the business
administration, management, and law discuss how those transactions
affected corporate management and the financial markets. The
authors examine why so much corporate restructuring occurred and,
particularly, what corporate governance problems were behind it.
They evaluate the causes and effects of restructuring, the
economic, political, and legal environment that encouraged it, and
the new laws and court rulings that resulted. The contributors
explain that financial restructuring was driven by a dispute over
who should control large public corporations, what their goals
should be, to whom the organizations and their managers should be
accountable, and how to make them more accountable. Although the
wave of financial restructuring itself has subsided, this conflict
remains unsolved and will continue to influence the business
climate. The Deal Decade addresses such issues as: Why did
long-dormant questions about corporate performance and governance
surface in the 1980s? Why did they manifest themselves in takeovers
and financial restructurings? Why would capital structure be likely
to affect corporate performance? Were the increased use of debt and
rapid pace of innovation in financial markets, and the explosion in
takeover activity independent phenomena or related? And if related,
which caused which? Finally, why did the impulse to restructure
subside without having resolved the controversies that underlay it?
