The Misuse Of Tax Incentives To Align Management-Shareholder Interests, James R. Repetti Oct 2011

The Misuse Of Tax Incentives To Align Management-Shareholder Interests, James R. Repetti

James R. Repetti

From Coase To Collaborative Property Decision-Making: Green Economy Innovation, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
