Preferred term

shareholder model of corporate governance  

Definition(s)

  • In the familiar Anglo-American model of corporate governance, shareholders have two important rights: the right to ultimate control of a corporation and a right to all its profits. In addition, shareholders are the exclusive beneficiary of the fiduciary duty of management, which is to say that managers have a fiduciary duty to operate a corporation solely in the interest of shareholders.
