This is a significant issue not only in the United States but also in the world, for many countries are beginning to emulate the American model of corporate governance. Mitchell criticizes this emphasis on profit maximization and the corporate legal structure that encourages it, and he offers concrete proposals to bring about more socially responsible corporate behavior." "Mitchell declares that managers should be freed from the legal structural constraints that make it difficult for them to exercise ordinary moral judgment and be held accountable for their actions. He suggests, for example, that earnings reports be required annually rather than quarterly, that the capital gains tax be increased on stocks held for fewer than thirty days, and that elections of corporate boards of directors be held every five years rather than every year. Mitchell places the problem of corporate irresponsibility within the broader context of American life and demonstrates the extent to which contemporary corporate behavior represents a corruption of our cherished liberal values of personal freedom and individuality." 000423664 650_0 $$aSocial responsibility of business$$zUnited States. 000423664 650_0 $$aCorporations$$xCorrupt practices$$zUnited States. 000423664 650_0 $$aCorporations$$xMoral and ethical aspects$$zUnited States. 000423664 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000423664 852__ $$bebk 000423664 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3420270$$zOnline Access 000423664 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:423664$$pGLOBAL_SET 000423664 980__ $$aBIB 000423664 980__ $$aEBOOK 000423664 982__ $$aEbook 000423664 983__ $$aOnline
