There are various indications that corporations and
their leaders are currently not perceived as trustworthy. This
decline in trust is one of the factors that has contributed to
the rise of interest in corporate governance. There is an explicit
expectation that an adherence to the principles and practice of
good corporate governance will bolster the trust of stakeholders
in business. It is exactly this expectation that provides the focus
for this article. The expectation that good corporate governance
will result in higher levels of trust will be critically examined.
This will be done by first making some crucial distinctions
regarding corporate governance in order to clarify what kind
of corporate governance is at stake in the examination that is
to follow. Also, with regard to the concept of ‘trust’, a number
of important distinctions will be made to clarify what is meant
by trust within the context of this paper. Against the backdrop
of these distinctions regarding corporate governance and trust,
the question will then be refined as to whether, specifically,
internal corporate governance can bolster the perceptions of
trustworthiness that stakeholders have of business. Principles
and practices of internal corporate governance will then be
critically examined to determine their potential for enhancing
stakeholders’ perceptions of the trustworthiness of corporations
and their leaders. |
