Many attempts are being made to boost corporate governance in the wake of the monetary disaster. But few appear to be tackling the actual issue: that our top down paradigms, rooted in , unitary, notions that are economistic that are transactional, need to be entirely rewritten in favor of a more humanistic model. Citing cases including the John Lewis Partnership and Mondragon Corporation, the authors propose the adoption of network governance, which they say would allow for greater self-regulation, self governance, co-operation and communication among all stakeholders.
They identify the various contradictions and shortcomings of the traditional single-board system, before showing network governance can provide a solution to such issues. For a truly humanistic and sustainable society to flourish, the authors encourage businesses to do their part by changing the way corporate governance actually works.
