"Truitt believes the corporation is responsible for making the American economy the largest in the world and for creating the global economy as well. Using examples from major corporations, he traces how the concept of the corporation developed over time from the Middle Ages through the age of imperialism and colonization and on into the "postmodern" model. He explains the advantages of incorporating and the ways corporations are structured to make best use of these advantages, describes the systems of corporate governance, and analyzes why certain people in certain corporations commit fraud. Along the way he explains historical trends and the ways corporations transformed themselves as well as the corporations to come, and closely examines why some corporations have lasted over 950 years while others seem to fail in 950 nanoseconds."- Reference & Research Book News, "Truitt believes the corporation is responsible for making the American economy the largest in the world and for creating the global economy as well.

Synopsis
A soup-to-nuts guide to the workings of the "corporation"--its pros and cons and how it has developed into the most dominant and powerful business model., Today's culture is increasingly influenced--even dominated--by business, and the corporation is the quintessential enterprise, representing everything that is popularly considered both good and evil about business. The Corporation provides readers with a basic understanding of how a corporation works, generating wealth for its shareholders, employees, communities, and the nations in which it is active. The first part addresses the importance of the corporation in the United States--how and why this business form developed historically (in legal, political, economic, and social context), how it became the country's most dominant business form, and its vital role in the economy today, including its contributions to Gross Domestic Product and employment. The next section focuses on the nature of a corporation as a business entity, including the process of incorporating, laws and regulations that influence its daily operations, and a comparison with other business entities (such as partnerships) in the U.S. and around the world. The final chapters explore issues related to ethical conduct and accountability--governance, auditing and financial reporting, business-government relations, social responsibility, and compensation of directors and executives--and considers the future of the corporation in an era of economic anxiety. Featuring many company examples, illustrations, charts, a glossary, timeline, and listings of resources and references, The Corporation is an essential introduction to business and its role in society., Today's culture is increasingly influenced--even dominated--by business; The Corporation provides readers with a basic understanding of how a corporation works and how it contributes to the wealth of its shareholders, employees, communities, and nations in which it is active.
