The Origins And Costs Of Short-Term Management, Kent Greenfield May 2009

The Origins And Costs Of Short-Term Management, Kent Greenfield

Kent Greenfield

Why is a fixation on the short term a problem for American businesses? One might hasten to answer that management is compensated for short-term successes. Another answer might be that some investors—particularly professional investors—value only the short term and manipulate the market in a particular stock so they can profit on the movement. These answers undoubtedly are part of the answer. But a puzzle remains: why does the market not punish such short-termism? This essay will present a possible answer.

Ultra Vires Lives! A Stakeholder Analysis Of Corporate Illegality (With Notes On How Corporate Law Could Reinforce International Law Norms), Kent Greenfield Oct 2001

Ultra Vires Lives! A Stakeholder Analysis Of Corporate Illegality (With Notes On How Corporate Law Could Reinforce International Law Norms), Kent Greenfield

Kent Greenfield

This paper argues that a remaining vestige of the ultra vires doctrine sets off illegal activities as "beyond the power" of corporations. Though largely unnoticed and unexamined until now, this part of the doctrine has been retained because none of the important corporate stakeholders has an interest in authorizing the corporation and its managers to commit illegal acts. From an ex ante perspective, the principal stakeholders in the corporate contract would want the corporation and its management to forego illegalities as a way to increase the value of the firm. Any of the stakeholders would be a potential victim of …


There's A Forest In Those Trees: Teaching About The Role Of Corporations In Society, Kent Greenfield Dec 1999

There's A Forest In Those Trees: Teaching About The Role Of Corporations In Society, Kent Greenfield

Kent Greenfield

The lack of consideration of these issues is odd indeed, since corporate law (like all law) is understandable only within …
