| Abstract: | In this seminar, Dr Galanis proceeds from the starting point that the corporation can only exist as a socially embedded institution. On this basis, he claims that all scholarship treating corporate governance reform as primarily a distributional problem is necessarily associated with social determinism and heteronomy. Dr Galanis explains how the corporate governance debate is and ought to be much more complex and essentially part of, and dependent on, a deeply reflexive exercise concerning social and individual identity. He argues that, if we ever decide to engage sincerely in this process, we may find that the corporation (at least as we now know it) has no guaranteed place in society. |
