Roberto Tallarita will discuss the increasing support for "stakeholder governance", the pledges of major corporate leaders to deliver value to all stakeholders, and the role of corporate governance in mitigating corporate externalities.
This public lecture will draw on his recent research on stakeholderism, U.S. constituency statutes, and the Business Roundtable Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation to reflect on the promise and dangers of relying on managerial discretion to address social problems.
