With this trend seeming set to continue – nearly a quarter of Russell 3000 companies disclosed the potential for activism in their 10-K reporting – executives must understand the precise threats they’re likely to encounter.

Secondary Let’s stop asking girls to behave more like the worst of boys and start encouraging boys to emulate the best of girls, writes Natasha Devon… by When it comes to single-sex schooling, my stance is one that some might term cognitive dissonance, others as brand hypocrisy – but which I prefer to think of as a tension between head and heart.
