本文讨论了中国背景下关于公司治理的六种误解，涉及所有权与治理、企业家精神与激励、监管与声誉的关系，指出这些误解源于对市场机制的不信任和对企业家精神的忽视，并主张从管理者中心转向企业家中心模型。
This paper discusses six misunderstandings about corporate governance in the context of China, particularly about the relationships between ownership and governance, between entrepreneurship and incentive, and between regulation and reputation. These misunderstandings exist not just in theoretical circles, but also in practice. The common characteristic of these misunderstandings is the distrust in the market mechanism and the neglect for the entrepreneurial spirit. Such distrust and neglect can be partly attributed to the misunderstanding of the market by the mainstream economic theories that do not take the entrepreneurs into consideration in their models. In order to have a more complete understanding of the market and corporate governance, we must transition from a manager-centered model towards an entrepreneur-centered model. We discuss the implications of this approach for public policy-making.
