Other Activities/Appointments


Research Interests

Long interested in traditional questions of corporate governance (understanding the relationship between managers and owners as mediated by the board of directors and disciplined by the market for corporate control), Jim has broadened his interests to consider how society figures in the governance of the firm. He is currently investigating the purposes and accountability of the firm, with a clear eye on how well society is served by business activity.
