Excerpt from An Overview of Takeover Defenses In summary, takeover resistance motivated by first rationale of hidden values and the second rationale of inducing an auction can benefit target shareholders. However, the managers' natural bias is likely to result in opposition to some takeovers that would benefit target shareholders.

Negotiated acquisitions enable the target managers to share ideas and information with the bidding firm. Consistent with the first and second reasons, this may increase the offer price.
