Abstract
Many CEOs like to portray themselves as long-term visionaries and their dissident shareholders as short-term opportunists. These executives apparently believe that achieving value for shareholders within a reasonable time is incompatible with pursuing future growth. This short- term theory is pure hokum. Recent studies reveal no evidence that good long-term planning depresses current stock prices or increases vulnerability to takeovers.
