WHY IT IS HAPPENING CHAPTER 5 EVOLVING ENTERPRISES 71 CHAPTER 6 BOUGHT AND CLOSED 89 CHAPTER 7 CAPITAL AND COMMITMENT 117 III. WHAT WE SHOULD DO ABOUT IT CHAPTER 8 VALUE AND VALUES 157 CHAPTER 9 GOVERNANCE AND GOVERNMENT 195 CHAPTER 10 WITHOUT END 237 COMPENDIUM: CONCEPTS, CONCLUSIONS, AND CONSEQUENCES 257 AN APPENDIX: IN TRUST FIRMS 264 NOTES 270 FURTHER READING 291 INDEX 299 ABOUT THE AUTHOR 305 XILL As the source of our prosperity, employment, savings, and consumption, the corporation is one of the most important institutions in the modern world. Yet corporations are also the cause of immense problems and suffering, and instruments of poverty, pollution, and financial crisis. With these problems increasing, Colin Mayer, distinguished financial economist, former Dean and now Professor of Management Studies at the Said Business School at Oxford University, shows us why this is happening and what we can do to restore trust in corporations. With its complex governance, finance, and internal workings, the corporation appears as a black box that is difficult to comprehend. Now Mayer lifts the lid, enabling us to understand, scrutinize, and argue for change in how corporations are structured and run. Using examples and stories from history and around the modern world, Mayer illuminates the essential elements that define a corporation and are the source of its problems—ownership, governance, accountability, and trust—and sets out an ambitious agenda for change. Firm Commitment brings a fresh perspective to the current crises in financial markets, developing countries, and the environment which have their origins in the corporation. Mayer challenges governments, corporations, shareholders, and consumers to convert the corporation into a twenty-first century organization that we can trust to promote the interests of economies and societies around the world.
