The stories provide historical perspective on shareholder activism and offer a road map for investors wanting to avoid past mistakes. There's plenty of blame to go around, and plenty of lessons to be learned. Fortunately, the Web can be a powerful resource in the fight against corruption, and we hope your comeback strategy starts with this report.
