Shareholder Protection in Close Corporations : Theory, Operation, and Application of Shareholder Withdrawal
Close corporations, which are legal forms popular with small and medium enterprises, are crucial to every major economy's private sector.However, unlike their 'public' corporation counterparts, close corporation minority shareholders have limited exit options, and are structurally vulnerable in conflicts with majority or controlling shareholders. 'Withdrawal remedies'-legal mechanisms enabling aggrieved shareholders to exit companies with monetary claims-are potent minority shareholder protection mechanisms.This book critically examines the theory and operation of withdrawal remedies in four jurisdictions: the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan.Developing and applying a theoretical and comparative framework to the analysis of these jurisdictions' withdrawal remedies, this book proposes a model withdrawal remedy that is potentially applicable to any jurisdiction.With its international, functional, and comparative analysis of withdrawal remedies, it challenges preconceptions about shareholder remedies and offers a methodology for comparative corporate law in both scholarship and practice.

Good Company : Economic Policy after Shareholder Primacy
On the faulty intellectual origins of shareholder primacy—and how policy can win back what’s been lost. In an era of shareholder primacy, share price is king.Businesses operate with short-term goals to deliver profits to shareholders, enjoying stability (and bonuses) in the process.While the public bemoans the doctrine for its insularity and wealth-consolidating effects, its influence over corporate governance persists.Good Company offers an exacting argument for why shareholder primacy was never the right model to follow for truly understanding how corporations operate. Lenore Palladino shows that corporations draw power from public charters—agreements that allow corporations to enjoy all manner of operational benefits.In return, companies are meant to innovate for the betterment of the societies that support them.However, that debt—increasingly wielded for stock buybacks and shareholder bonuses—is not being repaid.Palladino theorizes a modern corporation that plays its intended role while delivering social and economic good in the process and offers tangible policy solutions to make this a reality.Good Company is both an expert introduction to the political economy of the firm—as it was, as it is, as it can be—and a calibrating examination of how public policy can shape companies, and societies, for the better.

What is a shareholder?
A shareholder is an individual, company, or institution that owns shares in a corporation. By owning shares, the shareholder becomes a part-owner of the company and has a claim on its assets and earnings. Shareholders have the right to vote on certain company decisions, such as electing the board of directors, and may receive dividends as a return on their investment. Shareholders also have the potential to profit from an increase in the value of their shares if the company performs well.

Dear Chairman : Boardroom Battles and the Rise of Shareholder Activism
A sharp and illuminating history of one of capitalism's longest running tensions-the conflicts of interest among public company directors, managers, and shareholders-told through entertaining case studies and original letters from some of our most legendary and controversial investors and activists. Recent disputes between shareholders and major corporations, including Apple and DuPont, have made headlines.But the struggle between management and those who own stock has been going on for nearly a century.Mixing never-before-published and rare, original letters from Wall Street icons-including Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett, Ross Perot, Carl Icahn, and Daniel Loeb-with masterful scholarship and professional insight, Dear Chairman traces the rise in shareholder activism from the 1920s to today, and provides an invaluable and unprecedented perspective on what it means to be a public company, including how they work and who is really in control. Jeff Gramm analyzes different eras and pivotal boardroom battles from the last century to understand the factors that have caused shareholders and management to collide. Throughout, he uses the letters to show how investors interact with directors and managers, how they think about their target companies, and how they plan to profit.Each is a fascinating example of capitalism at work told through the voices of its most colorful, influential participants. A hedge fund manager and an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School, Gramm has spent as much time evaluating CEOs and directors as he has trying to understand and value businesses.He has seen public companies that are poorly run, and some that willfully disenfranchise their shareholders.While he pays tribute to the ingenuity of public company investors, Gramm also exposes examples of shareholder activism at its very worst, when hedge funds engineer stealthy land-grabs at the expense of a company's long term prospects.Ultimately, he provides a thorough, much-needed understanding of the public company/shareholder relationship for investors, managers, and everyone concerned with the future of capitalism.

Can a shareholder sign employment contracts for a GmbH?
No, a shareholder of a GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung, which is a type of limited liability company in Germany) cannot sign employment contracts on behalf of the company. Employment contracts are typically signed by the managing director (Geschäftsführer) of the GmbH, who is responsible for the day-to-day management of the company. Shareholders are not typically involved in the day-to-day operations or management of the company, and therefore do not have the authority to sign employment contracts on behalf of the GmbH.

What are the criticisms of the Shareholder Value approach?
Critics of the Shareholder Value approach argue that it can lead to short-term decision-making at the expense of long-term sustainability and growth. They also argue that it can prioritize the interests of shareholders over those of other stakeholders, such as employees, customers, and the community. Additionally, some critics believe that the focus on maximizing shareholder value can lead to unethical behavior and a lack of corporate social responsibility. Finally, they argue that it can create pressure on companies to meet quarterly earnings targets, which may hinder their ability to invest in innovation and long-term value creation.

Can a managing director evict a shareholder from the company's property?
In most cases, a managing director does not have the authority to unilaterally evict a shareholder from the company's property. Shareholders have certain rights and protections under company law, and eviction typically requires a legal process and a valid reason, such as breach of contract or violation of company policies. The decision to evict a shareholder would typically require approval from the board of directors or shareholders, and would need to be carried out in accordance with the company's governing documents and applicable laws. It is important for the managing director to follow proper procedures and seek legal advice before attempting to evict a shareholder from the company's property.
