Shareholders, activist or not, cannot determine company strategy...this is a root problem that is affecting so many companies who make the terrible mistake of allowing Wall Street to run their businesses.
The correct approach here? Tell so-called 'activist shareholders' who are screaming for a merger to go bleep-themselves - if they don't like what Starwood is doing, then sell the damn shares and go away.
