Article Abstract:
The observer of corporate life do not always fully understand the nature of the relationship with respect to the behavior of a board of directors when faced with a hostile bid for the company they serve. The immediate reaction of the board on receiving end of a bid is frequently a mixture of outrage and fear, as the outrage is expressed on behalf of the shareholders which is directed towards the enormity of the impertinence implied by the ludicrously low value placed by the bidder on the target company.
