This is a significant issue not only in the United States but also in the world, for many countries are beginning to emulate the American model of corporate governance. Mitchell criticizes this emphasis on profit maximization and the corporate legal structure that encourages it, and he offers concrete proposals to bring about more socially responsible corporate behavior." "Mitchell declares that managers should be freed from the legal structural constraints that make it difficult for them to exercise ordinary moral judgment and be held accountable for their actions. He suggests, for example, that earnings reports be required annually rather than quarterly, that the capital gains tax be increased on stocks held for fewer than thirty days, and that elections of corporate boards of directors be held every five years rather than every year. Mitchell places the problem of corporate irresponsibility within the broader context of American life and demonstrates the extent to which contemporary corporate behavior represents a corruption of our cherished liberal values of personal freedom and individuality." 606 $aSocial responsibility of business$zUnited States 606 $aCorporations$xCorrupt practices$zUnited States 606 $aCorporations$xMoral and ethical aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business 615 0$aCorporations$xCorrupt practices 615 0$aCorporations$xMoral and ethical aspects 676 $a658.4/08/0973 700 $aMitchell$b Lawrence E$067037 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778285603321 996 $aCorporate irresponsibility$9230990 997 $aUNINA
