Why does the structure of a corporate business complicate the analysis of a strategy?
A corporation's executives and board of directors might make choices that are in their personal interests rather than those of their shareholders, who would prefer decisions that maximize the values of their stock. Managers whose firms produce substantial free cash flows may prefer to spend them on questionable acquisitions that often fail to benefit shareholders. Such acquisitions, however, give managers a larger firm to run, which generally means higher pay and more prestige in the community.
