Control and Collaboration: Paradoxes of Governance
用悖论框架整合公司治理中控制与协作两种对立观点,基于代理理论和管家理论分析其张力,并探讨如何管理二者以应对战略僵化和组织衰退。
Corporate governance is an increasingly provocative topic, evident in ongoing debates between proponents of control versus collaborative approaches. We accommodate these contrasting approaches within a paradox framework, using agency and stewardship theories to elaborate the underlying tensions and to emphasize the value of monitoring, as well as empowerment. Building from these tensions, we examine reinforcing cycles that foster strategic persistence and organizational decline. We conclude by discussing means of managing control and collaboration, highlighting the implications for corporate governance.
