A compelling vision of the corporation of the future from the worlds foremost shareholder activist.. In The Emperors Nightingale, Robert Monks, the worlds foremosst shareholder activist, weaves together parables, case studies, and insights from complexity thinking to reveal the true character of the corporation, as it struggles to reconcile the opposing forces of certainty and uncertainty, the predictable and the serendipitous, and short-term profit versus long-term economic value rooted in the social good.
