7or7literally7over-the-counter.




10. Such7organizations7frequently7pursue7social7or7political7missions,7so7many7different7goals7are7conceiv
able.7One7goal7that7is7often7cited7is7revenue7minimization;7i.e.,7provide7whatever7goods7and7services7a
re7offered7at7the7lowest7possible7cost7to7society.7A7better7approach7might7be7to7observe7that7even7a7not

he7equity.

oth7short-term7and7long-term.7If7this7is7correct,7then7the7statement7is7false.

12. An7argument7can7be7made7either7way.7At7the7one7extreme,7we7could7argue7that7in7a7market7economy,7a

proving7the7safety7of7the7product7will7only7save7$207million7in7product7liability7claims.7What7should7t
he7firm7do?‖

13. The7goal7will7be7the7same,7but7the7best7course7of7action7toward7that7goal7may7be7different7because7of7d
iffering7social,7political,7and7economic7institutions.

14. The7goal7of7management7should7be7to7maximize7the7share7price7for7the7current7shareholders.7If7manag

y7should7still7fight7the7offer.7However,7if7the7current7management7cannot7increase7the7value7of7the7fir
m7beyond7the7bid7price,7and7no7other7higher7bids7come7in,7then7management7is7not7acting7in7the7intere

15. We7would7expect7agency7problems7to7be7less7severe7in7other7countries,7primarily7due7to7the7relatively7s
mall7percentage7of7individual7ownership.7Fewer7individual7owners7should7reduce7the7number7of7diver
