Investors can purchase enough shares and then rob a corporation of its soul

David Bauman — 18-year college business ethics professor — publishes a full review on Goodreads walking through Incorruptible's diagnosis (3M, Sears, Whole Foods) and prescription (constellation structures, spiritual holding companies, the Sinegal governance fortress). Notes the book's one gap: what employees and middle managers can do when their company is losing its mission. Heartily recommends.

“Ries relates these stories along with multiple personal stories of founders who ask him for help against extractive private equity funds or larger corporations. He clearly describes the problem that companies have: investors can purchase enough shares and then rob a corporation of its soul.” — David Bauman on Goodreads
