Operationalizing sustainability in corporate law reform through a labour-centred corporate governance: A UK perspective

Birmingham Law School

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

As companies with global operations adopt increasingly more innovative forms of organisation this paper assesses how this affects company law reform designed to enhance sustainability. Utilising a labour orientated interpretation of Coase's transaction costs theory it argues that companies adopt forms which best extract value from labour. The paper therefore suggests that improved labour governance initiatives would help resist companies' ability to side- step reform
