In the book Gender Violence at the U.S.-Mexico Border: Media Representation and Public Response, editors Hector Domínguez-Ruvalcaba and Ignacio Corona mention how: These crimes are the undesirable result of a machista culture…

    The company’s authorization to the management through its CEO to bargain on acquisition or merger proves beyond doubt that Revlon was indeed seeking for a buyout. Thus, the duty of the directors had to shift from protecting the company through preservations to protecting shareholders’ value by maximizing the company’s share price during auction. Settling on Forstmann altered this responsibility resulting in ineffective and inadequate bids. With Pantry’s bids there was a possibility of achieving…
