California Management Review - Tập 25 Số 3 - Trang 88-106 - 1983
R. Edward Freeman, David L. Reed

Tóm tắt

The purpose of this article is to show how the concept of stakeholders in an organization can be used to understand the tasks of the board of directors. The authors argue that a volunteeristic approach to questions of corporate governance which focuses on effective director behavior is preferable to structural change via legislation.
