Market for Corporate Control, an External Mechanism of Corporate Governance – Case Study of Pliva’ s Takeover

Main goals and objectives of this case are to present the market for corporate control, external mechanism of corporate governance, at work. During the summer of 2006, Pliva was the subject of a bidding war between Iceland’ s Actavis and US-based Barr Pharmaceuticals making the first significant takeover of a publicly traded Croatian corporation. Scenario of Pliva’ s takeover offers everything that today’ s takeover can offer – from so called “ hostile takeover” , strong public and hidden pressures on management of the regulatory body for capital markets to classical business and political intrigues.
