At The Deal's M&A Outlook 2009 conference, panelists discussed how and why activist shareholders are gaining support. In this video Matthew Sherman, a partner at Joele Frank, Wilkinson Brimmer Katcher, and Rachel Posner, senior managing director and general counsel for Georgeson Inc., explain that there is an upswing in support for activist investors due to a lack of strategy communication by companies. - Maria Woehr
