Since 1995 the Corporate Governance site has provided news, internet links, and a small reference library. The site serves as a discussion forum and NETwork for numerous stakeholders who are leading authorities in explaining movements and motives in the field; The editor, James McRitchie, openly promotes active participation by shareholders in the governing of corporations as a means of enhancing their ability to create wealth. Knowledge has surpassed machines and the stored value of money itself, as the driving force behind the world economy. In the recent past, companies learned they could create better products more efficiently with the full mental participation of their employees. Today, many are finding that participation by shareholders also adds value. Venture capitalists who are willing to invest idas as well as money are outperforming the market. Join us in our attempt to enhance wealth through increased accountability to investors by creating more democratic forms of corporate governance and corporate monitoring.
