Sommario/riassunto

This book argues that instead of consigning shareholders to a passive role, they should be given opportunities to be active members of corporations. The ideas of accountability, deliberation and contestability provide a valuable framework for assessing corporate structures and process and for encouraging greater shareholder participation.
