Shareholder activism and countermeasures against shareholder activism
I have made a good faith effort to find info both on wikipedia and specifically the reference desk archives. Where on wikipedia or elsewhere can one find out about shareholder activism techniques, and equally countermeasures against shareholder activism? I understand particularly in Japan there is deep tradition in this field. Any pointers appreciated. -- Cimon Avaro&#59; on a pogostick. (talk) 21:28, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * As far as techniques go, Wikipedia is explicitly Not a manual, so you should not expect to find them here.
 * Presumably your good faith efforts have already found Activist shareholder. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 176.24.47.60 (talk) 00:47, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Seems to have been written with an implicit historic european/modern US filter. I honestly thought Japan was the place where it was most prevalent. -- Cimon Avaro&#59; on a pogostick. (talk) 01:47, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Most WP articles have a US and/or Anglo content bias, because that is the region+language for most English-language sources used, and likewise because those regions dominate the Anglophone internet. I wouldn't be surprised at this point. As you know, if you've seen some source mention somewhere, or have some other indication you can point to, to suggest that an article has a coverage gap, you should suggest it on that article's Talk page, or add content to the article yourself if you have a WP:reliable source to cite.
 * And yes, of course WP articles do list techniques. SamuelRiv (talk) 03:20, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The article Activist shareholder should IMO be renamed to Shareholder activism. --Lambiam 08:30, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
