Description
Douglas Stevens believes that the balance between corporate autonomy and institutional control is a central issue in the management of Crown corporations. In Corporate Autonomy and Institutional Control he investigates the effects of various organization designs on this balance, taking into account the incentives and strategic behaviour of vote-maximizing politicians, influence-maximizing bureaucrats, and autonomy-maximizing managers.
