Open Corporation

"The Open Corporation sets out an innovative and realistic blueprint for effective corporate self regulation, offering practical strategies for managers, stakeholders and regulators to build successful self-regulation management systems, Christine Parker examines the conditions under which corporate self-regulation of social and legal responsibilities are likely to be effective, covering a wide range of areas - from consumer-protection to sexual harassment to environmental compliance. Focusing on the features that make self regulation or compliance management systems effective, Parker argues that law and regulators need to focus much more on 'meta-regulating' corporate self-regulation if democratic control over corporate action is to be established."--Cover.
