In this classic text, Masahiko Aoki explores how the 2008-9
financial crisis demanded a re-examination of the role of
corporations and the working of financial markets around the world,
providing a compelling new analysis of the corporate firm; the role
of shareholders, managers and workers; and institutional governance
structures. In recent decades the firm has predominantly been seen
as an organization run and governed in the interests of
shareholders, where management act as the agent of shareholders,
and the workers simply as instruments for share-value maximization.
This book reverses this viewpoint. It sees corporations as
associational cognitive systems where 'cognitive actions' are
distributed amongst managers and workers, with shareholders
supplying 'cognitive tools' and monitoring their use in the
systems. Aoki analyses the different relationships that can exist
between shareholders, managers, and workers from this perspective,
and identifies a range of different models of organizational
architecture and associated governance structures. He also
discusses ways in which corporations act as players in social,
political, and organizational games, as well as global economic
games; how these inter-related social dynamics may change
particular distinctive national structures into the diversity
incorporated in the global corporate landscape; and how they now
call for new roles for financial markets.
