The Effects of “Going Private” on Corporate Financial and Corporate Social Performance
Proceedings of the International Association for Business and Society 19:236-245 (2008)
| Abstract | The newly private corporation challenges scholars to re-examine corporate social responsibility under a markedly different governance system. We theorize regarding the implications of public corporations going private through use of private equity. The new governance system includes few owners and an expert, involved board of directors; combined with a greatly reduced public presence, public-to-private firms are proposed to place greater emphasis on financial performance and lesser emphasis on social performance. Several variables are proposed to moderate the lesser emphasis on social performance | |||||||||
