Contemporary Issues in Shareholder Advocacy

In: Origins of Shareholder Advocacy

Abstract

By plumbing the earliest origins of shareowner advocacy in different jurisdictions, authors in this book have laid groundwork for a new branch of scholarship. We have seen similar births of fields. For instance, a fellowship of scholars in the history of economics began to coalesce following a conference at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1974.1 An academy focusing on the history of share-owner advocacy in capital markets may have begun at the November 2009 conference at the Yale School of Management where authors first presented papers gathered for this volume. That would only be fitting, as the event marked the four-hundredth anniversary of the first recorded expression of investor advocacy. It is equally fitting that such a field would emerge in a year noted for financial crisis. Findings drawn from the research presented here not only explore underanalyzed shareowner activism, they suggest lessons for scholars and practitioners seeking insights on how to reduce the risk of crises in the future.
