Ordinary corporate vices and the failure of law

Suzanne Corcoran

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper had its beginning in an unpublished paper I gave more than 20 years
ago. I was looking at the problem of corporate governance and expectation gaps. My particular focus was the difficulty, in the context of corporate governance principles, of legislating in such a way that ethical considerations would become part of the mainstream of corporate decision-making. The examples I used to illustrate the problem were drawn from the behaviour of Australian banks. One
can ask, has the world changed at all?
