The corporate enterprise in Africa: Governance, citizenship and social responsibility

Abstract

While different societies attach different weights and priorities to these objectives, it is largely in the political and economic means adopted for achieving these ends that societies differ. The differences in means are of paramount importance because the ultimate objectives are never fully attained as a consequence of which we forever live in transition. However, it is largely agreed that good governance is a fundamental building block of a just and economically prosperous society. This is as true for public governance as it is for corporate governance.
