Corporate governance refers to the system of rules, practices, and processes by which a company is directed and controlled, balancing the interests of a company's many stakeholders. It encompasses the mechanisms that ensure accountability, fairness, and transparency in a company's relationship with its stakeholders, including shareholders, management, customers, suppliers, financiers, government, and the community.
Takeover strategies are methods employed by companies to acquire control of another company, often to achieve synergies, expand market reach, or eliminate competition. These strategies can be friendly or hostile, with tactics ranging from tender offers to proxy fights, each carrying distinct financial and regulatory considerations.
