Exit And Voice In American Health Care, Marc A. Rodwin Jul 1999

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 …
