"What is the purpose of the company and its role in society? From their origin in
medieval times to their modern incarnation as powerful transnational bodies, companies
remain an important part of business and society at large. Drawing from a variety
of perspectives, this book adopts a normative approach to understanding the modern
company and provides insights into how companies should be conceptualized. It considers
key topics such as the development of corporate theory, the rights and obligations
of the company, and the means and ends of corporate governance. Written by leading
experts of different jurisdictions, this book provides important international viewpoints
on some of the most pressing corporate governance questions." -- Publisher's website
