Foreign Capital and Economic Development: Japan, India and Canada: Hegemony of International Business 1945-1970 (Therise of International Business)

Book Description

This book provides a shareholder investing in a foreign company (and the shareholder s legal advisors) with practical information on the various means of protection and its judicial enforcement in the respective foreign country. Protection of Minority Shareholders contains 15 reports covering almost all of the major European jurisdictions as well as the United States. All of the reports follow the same structure and address such issues as: + the requirements for shareholders resolutions, + the scope of a minority shareholder s right to information and ability to influence the decision-making process, + whether a minority shareholder has the right to demand a dividend and to participate in capital increases, + to what extent a minority shareholder can strengthen his or her position by having appropriate clauses included in the Articles of Association or by entering into shareholders agreements, and + the remedies available to a minority shareholder in the event that a shareholder s resolution or other action impairs his or her rights. Protection of Minority Shareholders makes a complex area of increasing activity understandable. It proves a useful resource for international lawyers and for the legal departments of any company holding shares in a foreign company.

Book Description

Written in a readable style, this book provides an account, and much-needed analysis, of minority shareholders rights and remedies under section 459 of the Companies Act 1985. In the study of minority shareholders rights, there has been a tendency to give inadequate attention to the remedies now available. This book take a new approach to the treatment of minority shareholders protection. Much of this book is devoted to a detailed study of the effectiveness of section 459 as a shareholders remedy. Commencing with an examination of the problems faced by a minority shareholder, the book goes on to examine the statutory requirements of the section and its fresh judicial interpretation. Many practical circumstances in which the section has been applied, some of its procedural aspects, and the remedies available are also examined.

A great second book for author Alexandria Altman.......2002-06-19

I really liked reading this book. I have read Alexandria Altman's first book "John Carpenter Speaks Out", also a very good book. Easy to read and to the point. I look forward to reading "Mission Possible" #2 and on. Also I look froward to any other of Ms. Altman's books. I feel we will be seeing her as a bestseller in the near future.

Learning from the Masters........2002-03-14

... This is the book for you. Fast-paced interviews with successful individuals can be a great encouragement. Such is the information contained in Mission Possible!

Useful, well-crafted brewing text........2004-05-31

It has a very appetizing cover photo. Brown Ale tends to be a misunderstood style these days, and this book's clarification of its history and present state is a relief. One highlight for me was the proposal of separating the American style of brown ale into the hopped-up Texas-style and then American-style brown ale, which is demonstrated by analyzing a cross-section of samples from across the country. The history goes way back, further than you might guess, and the explanation of malting and brewing techniques from early to modern times is enlightening. Recommended reading, even for extract brewers.

I bought this book to learn something about the subject, and I did learn quite a bit.The potential buyer should read the subtitle closely and be aware that this is not a how to book for the first time beer brewer, you'll have to go elsewhere for detailed brewing information. This book does give a lot of history and information, good book to have if you're thinking of brewing your own Brown Ale, or just think you might want to drink the stuff.

dirty laundry.......2006-08-11

The author worked closely with Ted Kennedy through most of the '70s and the very early '80s as a member of his Senate staff and personal go-to guy, and had very personal access to both the Senator and his family. The book is mainly about the Senator's vices and his family's troubles during that period (which the author was deeply involved in).

I was hoping for more politics and policy. The author vaguely alludes to legislative accomplishments, but doesn't really discuss any. From reading the book, I would gather that the time between saving democracy during the Watergate crisis and the 1980 presidential election was one big party, with some family drama thrown in. The section on the 1980 presidential election was good.

It's clear that Kennedy made bad choices in that period, which was, literally for me, a lifetime ago; some were personal, some were political. What struck me was how many of the unattractive features described by the author reminded me of our current president: the sense of entitlement, a lack of accountability, intense competitiveness, demands for loyalty, and a strange snobbishness (Kennedy thought the Carters were unsophisticated but, according to the author, also thought that the hostage crisis couldn't be helped by President Carter's efforts to understand the situation by *gasp* reading books about Iran). On the plus side, both men have a strong devotion to family.

I didn't really like the book; I finished it only because I'd started it, and I didn't have much else handy at the time. If you are interested in Kennedy dirt, though, this book has it in spades. It's not for everyone, but maybe it's for you.

Interesting to a point .......2006-01-20

The first 100 pages is interesting but then it begins to get repetitive and aimless. It's worth what I paid for it -- got it at the dollar store. Confirms that TK is worse than I thought, but I wonder if he's even worse than Rick knows. Hmmm.

Old history gives me new insight.......2005-09-25

I found this book at a "free read" and am glad I picked it up.
I feel that Mr. Burke gives what appears to be honest insight into his observation working first from afar then eventually beyond close at hand to Senator Kennedy. I believe the positives of this book far outweigh any negatives one might find in the disclosure of personal family happenings. This book actually has caused me to see Senator Kennedy in a more human, approachable image that as formerly, simply focusing on his family heritage regarding money, fame, etc. My heart goes out to the whole Kennedy family who has suffered tragedy after tragedy in spite of all their wealth which only brings home the truth that money cannot buy happiness. I strongly urge one to read this book. I am glad I did.

A tabloid disguised as a book.......2005-08-15

Burke, once Ted Kennedy's personal secretary and family friend, writes a tell-all story of the senator's private life during the 1970's. Mr. Burke consumes more than 300 pages to inform the reader that Senator Kennedy often used drugs and had extramarital affairs. Mr. Burke, while condemning Kennedy's private life, states that he admired the legislative skills and positions of the senator, but offers no analysis or insight into how the senator's private life affected his legislative duties. Did Kennedy miss votes? Did he initiate less legislation? Was he less effective dealing with colleagues, either through diminished capacity or soiled reputation? The reader is left to wonder.

Mr. Burke, in a tattle-tale manner, relishes the opportunity to expose sordid details of the senator's personal life along with those of many other Kennedy family members. The reader is told of countless liaisons, most of which do little to further inform the reader. Senator Kennedy, as a public figure, is fair game, but Burke goes beyond the senator, exposing the private lives of the senator's children, nieces, nephews and deceased brothers. Burke's motives for divulging the transgressions of children are unclear and reveal, at best, poor judgment on Burke's part.

This boorish and aimless book is as much a story of the exploits of a senator and his family as it is of a groupie's rapid rise and fall within the political fast-life of DC, and of the lingering resentment harbored upon once again being on the outside looking in. The groupie: Mr. Burke.

A Shocker!.......2003-06-05

Burke tells an exciting story in a book that is hard to put down. I was unaware of Teddy's sexual and otherwise illegal exploits, so if you were like me, this book will prove to be very informative. Burke reveals much about the character of the man for whom he worked and worshipped.

Book Description

Focused on turning theory into effective practice, this book deals with how to successfully implement radical, process-based change in an evolving business world. The key word here is radical - as incremental change initiatives often fail to adequately keep pace with the rapidly evolving business climate. Innovatively making use of two running case studies, Ashley Braganza shows why successful change requires the real involvement of everyone in the organisation - not just a forced top-down approach from senior management.
