Strategic
Governance: Creating value from the owner-board- management
relationship

prosperity rather than assume that prosperity follows automatically
once accountability has been established. The ultimate goal
of ownership is to create value, to make the invested capital
grow. Thus, proponents of better corporate governance must
recognize that their activism has to take on a new dimension
to create sustainable value.
