Are objective performance metrics and monetary incentives helping or hurting? Or, if we worship free markets, why do we need large hierarchical organizations in which things are done only through administrative authority? All these issues are discussed in The Governance of the Corporation. This book provides a complete coverage of current corporate governance issues from a very holistic perspective and is intended for economists, academics, policymakers, journalists, and all those who enjoy reading about this subject.
