This book investigates the change from monopoly status to open market competition in large public companies in the US and Europe. Based upon the authors' consulting experience at AT&T, Lucent, Electricité de France, and the Italian State Railways, it reflects upon the implications of this transformation for democracy, stakeholder relations, and the well-being of the actors, and considers how outside interveners can help make the change both easier and fairer to all parties.
