corporate governance
Corporate governance is the theatrical apparatus by which corporations brandish the banners of "transparency" and "fairness" while quietly siphoning off all accountability. In the stage known as the boardroom, shareholders and executives perform daily mock dramas, with any supposed checks serving merely as props. Risk management meetings are little more than choreography rehearsals for dodging real risk. More than a system, it is the most convenient tool for shifting blame and deflecting responsibility in service of internal power structures. Under the guise of prudent decision-making, the finest excuses find their home here.
