Foreword / Jeffrey Pfeffer -- Changing conventional wisdom: the firm is not a money-making machine -- Corporate governance by box ticking -- Governance and government from an Aristotelian perspective -- Shareholders, stakeholders and citizens -- Corporate despots and constitutional rulers -- A few good men? -- Corporate polities and corporate democracies -- Governance as praxis.
The book elevates the discussion of corporate governance out of the realm of abstract rules and structures into a more effective form of Aristotelian politics. He argues that corporate governance is a human practice where subjective, ethical conditions outweigh the mastery of techniques, since the firm is not a mere production function but, above all, a community of workers.
