Capital Versus Talent: The Battle That's Reshaping Business (Spanish version)
Martin, Roger; Moldoveanu, Mihnea C.Article HBS-R0307BFor much of the 20th century, labor and capital fought bitterly for control of the industrialized economy.

Martin, RogerArticle HBS-F1404F-EEconomicsIn 1989 Michael C. Jensen wrote an article for HBR titled "Eclipse of the Public Corporation," in which he analyzed early leveraged buyouts and identified a new form of corporate organization, the LBO association, which he believed would eventually outperform the traditional public company.

But in practice, they did not: Saxon's was engaged in critical work throughout the bank, while Anglo's had little visibility outside its areas of expertise. In their study of these two financial institutions, the authors identified four competencies--trailblazing, toolmaking, teamwork, and translation--that help functional l...Starting at €8.20
