ABSTRACT:
Principal-agent problems are largely responsible for poor corporate governance. Much work on private sector corporate governance reform seeks to address transparency, accountability and responsiveness to stakeholder interests under the new category of corporate social responsibility. Yet, these issues are not new. The public sector has been working on these issues for many years – especially in looking at ways of reducing malfeasance and also optimizing use of resources for the benefit of principals. Some lessons from public sector reform include promoting information dissemination, participation, and balancing powers between a corporation's executive and supervisory entities. While firms should not necessarily be administered like governmental bodies, there are many lessons from public sector organisational reform and institutional governance that may be applicable to large-scale public corporations.
