Shareholders, who in principle cannot participate in the day-to-day management of a company, are forced to enter into a relationship with managers who act as their agents in the management of the company. This relationship operates under the assumption that managers will act in the best interests of the shareholder (Shapiro, 1999). However, managers will likely, and naturally, act in self interest and the needs of the shareholders may not be in the forefront of their motivation. This raises the issue of the agency problem; the conflict between a company’s management and the shareholders when managers act to maximize their own ...

Porter`s Five Competitive Forces

Michael Porter in 1979 laid out the five competitive forces model that was intended to apply in shaping business strategies. According to Porter the five forces proposed were microeconomic in nature and not macroeconomic. In addition, three of the forces were internal in nature and two were external.

Criminal Defense

In most jurisdictions, when an individual is accused of a criminal offense, he or she must appear in court of law to answer the charges (Farrell, 2008).
