Edward Waitzer, one of Canada's top corporate governance
specialists and a Stikeman Elliott partner, recently published an
op-ed that considers the potential of systems theory as an
analytical model of the corporation. Recent research by U.S.
scholars has shown that this approach can produce a principled
corporate governance framework that is dynamic enough to allow
corporations to fulfill their true social function as sustainable
value creators.
Ed's article was published by the National Association of
Corporate Directors (NACD). Read it, and explore the underlying
research,
