Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

This is an important collection of works, from an international team of authors, on corporate power and its justification and authority. It highlights the growing importance of corporate governance issues, an area which now has unprecedented coverage by the media in the commercial sector and is increasingly important in business schools.

Going beyond the question of 'business ethics' and 'corporate social responsibility', the book explores the nature of corporate capitalism itself, and the problems of power and governance in a rapidly changing global environment.
The Legitimate Corporation addresses issues such as:
* The rise of 'corporatism'.
* The changing nature of ownership.
* Definitions of legitimacy theory.
* The corporate control debate between management and shareholders.
Concluding with an analysis of past work on corporate legitimacy, the book also offers some new perspectives on the changing role of the corporation in global societies.
