'Dr. Teall has done an admirable job distilling the essential concepts, problems and theories of corporate control into a single concise and accessible volume. Topics in this well organized text range from the theory of the firm and corporate acquisitions to power, voting, abuses and excesses of managerial entrenchment and compensation policy. Theories and models are explained clearly in this book, as are empirical and computational methodologies. Discussions on the economic impacts of M&A activity, compensation policy and organizational structures are fascinating and important reading material for business, law and economics students at all levels.'
