Abstract

This is a ‘raw case’ which draws on a number of independent reports on Robert Maxwell’s business practices and flotation of Mirror Group Newspapers, videos and other secondary material to examine the rise and fall of the Maxwell empire. It can be used to teach how corporate governance in the UK has developed since 1990, the role of auditors and directors, the significance of pension funds in the capital markets, developments in pensions law, and the strengths and risks of a ‘productive narcissist’ CEO.
