Investor activism is driven by:

1. More risk capital in the hands of professional investors (private equity, hedge funds)
2. More assertive institutional investors (pension funds, fund mangers) who realize that they cannot exit underperforming investments
3. The dramatic increase in comparability and accessibility of commercial finance data.

For corporate financial managers, this increases the need to understand the methods used by financial investors to increase enterprise value in the long term.  CFOs and controllers can help accomplish this task by using Obermatt Operating Alpha products to gauge investor expectations, measure relative performance, and use indexed target setting methods for increased management motivation.
