520 A sharp and illuminating history of one of capitalism's
longest running tensions - the conflicts of interest among
public company directors, managers, and shareholders -
told through entertaining case studies and original
letters from some of our most legendary and controversial
investors and activists. Recent disputes between
shareholders and major corporations, including Apple and
DuPont, have made headlines. But the struggle between
management and those who own stock has been going on for
nearly a century. Mixing never-before-published and rare,
original letters from Wall Street icons - including
Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett, Ross Perot, Carl Icahn,
and Daniel Loeb - with masterful scholarship and
professional insight, Dear Chairman traces the rise in
shareholder activism from the 1920s to today, and provides
an invaluable and unprecedented perspective on what it
means to be a public company, including how they work and
who is really in control. Jeff Gramm analyzes different
eras and pivotal boardroom battles from the last century
to understand the factors that have caused shareholders
and management to collide. Throughout, he uses the letters
to show how investors interact with directors and managers,
how they think about their target companies, and how they
plan to profit. Each is a fascinating example of
capitalism at work told through the voices of its most
colorful, influential participants. A hedge fund manager
and an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School,
Gramm has spent as much time evaluating CEOs and directors
as he has trying to understand and value businesses. He
has seen public companies that are poorly run, and some
that willfully disenfranchise their shareholders. While he
pays tribute to the ingenuity of public company investors,
Gramm also exposes examples of shareholder activism at its
very worst, when hedge funds engineer stealthy land-grabs
at the expense of a company's long term prospects.
Ultimately, he provides a thorough, much-needed
understanding of the public company/shareholder
relationship for investors, managers, and everyone
concerned with the future of capitalism.
