Ambiguity in corporation law
Article Abstract:
Many corporate law ambiguities are the result of the inherent tension between allowing corporate managers broad discretion for the purpose of long-term wealth maximization and curtailing that power to protect shareholder rights. The corporate form is socially beneficial because of its unique ability to balance risk and wealth maximization. The inherent tension creates a need for creativity and for technical ability in those who adjudicate issues of corporate law.
