Despite efforts in the arena of corporate governance to address these, we are still beset with corporate scandals and witness companies facing large fines for their environmental and cost-cutting misdemeanours. Recognising that the usual responses to dealing with these corporate problems are not effective, this book asks whether the traditional form of the joint stock corporation itself lies at the heart of these problems. What are the features of the corporate form and how does its current regulation underscore these problems? Identifying such features provides a basis for the discussion to develop towards suggesting more progressive regulatory developments around the corporate form. More fundamentally, this book investigates a diverse range of corporate governance models that are emerging as alternatives to the shareholder corporation, including employee-owned, cooperative and social enterprises. The contributors are leading scholars from various backgrounds including law, management and organisation studies, finance and accounting, as well as experienced professionals and policy makers with expertise in social and cooperative business models and the role of employees in the corporationCorporate governanceLaw and legislationGreat BritainCorporation lawGreat BritainSocial responsibility of businessLaw and legislationGreat BritainStockholdersLegal status, laws, etcGreat BritainCompany lawCorporate governanceLaw and legislationCorporation lawSocial responsibility of businessLaw and legislationStockholdersLegal status, laws, etc.346.41/066Boeger NinaVilliers CharlotteUtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910796701303321Shaping the corporate landscape3729713UNINA
