The Oxford Handbook of the Corporation assesses the contemporary
relevance, purpose, and performance of the corporation. The
corporation is one of the most significant, if contested,
innovations in human history, and the direction and effectiveness
of corporate law, corporate governance, and corporate performance
are being challenged as never before. Continuously evolving, the
corporation as the primary instrument for wealth generation in
contemporary economies demands frequent assessment and
reinterpretation. The focus of this work is the transformative
impact of innovation and change upon corporate structure, purpose,
and operation. Corporate innovation is at the heart of the
value-creation process in increasingly internationalized and
competitive market economies, and corporations today are embedded
in a world of complex global supply chains and rising state and
state-directed capitalism. In questioning the fundamental purpose
and performance of the corporation, this Handbook continues a
tradition commenced by Berle and Means, and contributed to by
generations of business scholars. What is the corporation and what
is it becoming? How do we define its form and purpose and how are
these changing? To whom is the corporation responsible, and who
should judge the ultimate performance of corporations? By
investigating the origins, development, strategies, and theories of
corporations, this volume addresses such questions to provide a
richer theoretical account of the corporation and its contested
future.
