EU Takeover Directive Case Solution
Since the start, this bill was not uncontroversial. States such asGermany, with no history of corporate takeovers, worried the laws would interrupt the social contract between management and labor. States more comfortable including the UK, with takeovers, stressed that their recognized system of regulation would disturb. EU officials, thus, had to makea fragile balance between these competing interests to reach an EU-wide takeover policy. This challenge has proven exceptionally hard--so hard, actually, that almost two decades after first being suggested, the EU Takeover Directive hasn't been enacted into law. This case follows the efforts to get the law passed, in July 2001, from its acceptance by the EU ministers in June 1999 to its greatest failure, mostly at the hands of Germany.
This is just an excerpt. This case is about STRATEGY & EXECUTION
