Corporate Governance and Stakeholder Capitalism
Presentation/Infographic
Social Market–Market Socialism, Corporate Governance Regulatory Continuum
Intl Labour Organization (ILO), Palgrave Macmillan
Alternative conceptual framework for corporate governance regulation that emphasizes the policy choices and tradeoffs particularly relevant to ensuring that companies focus on creating long-term enterprise and thus social value rather than near-term shareholder returns alone. Because today essentially every country operates a mixed economy, the 20th century polemic over state vs. private ownership is increasingly beside the point and obscures this more fundamental policy consideration.
