They had few avenues to exert their voice to bring about change through complaints, politics, or other means.

With the growth of managed care since the 1980s, enrolled individuals have had fewer opportunities for exit and greater potential …

Equity Pooling And Media Ownership, Peter Chinloy May 1999

Equity Pooling And Media Ownership, Peter Chinloy

Alternatively, an investor not wishing management receives a higher compensating return. The procedure is particularly suited to media properties dependent on local advertising such as radio, "free" community newspapers, and television outlets. These properties …

Searching For The Holy Grail: The Human Genome Project And Its Implications , Allison Morse Jan 1999

Searching For The Holy Grail: The Human Genome Project And Its Implications , Allison Morse
