Musings on Corporate Structures

Since my last post I have had the good fortune to have discussed my thoughts regarding corporate structures with others. In those discussions I have been quizzed and questioned about so many things within the corporate world that I so easily and readily took for granted as understood by the general public. Thankfully I was reminded that as I proceed down this path of writing my thesis regarding a new socially just business model that I need to keep it simple and to the point so that everyone reading it can understand the concepts and strategies and why they may be needed and why they are better than what is out there currently.

Some very good questions were raised regarding corporate debt and is it really needed. Another was stockholders and why they may not really be good for a company since these "owners" do not actively participate in the company. Why companies no longer value their employees and human resource departments don't truly treat people very well or with much humaness. In fact, the people should be assets not just mere resources. Why some companies, even very large ones, seem to have the respect and admiration of their employees and the employer for the employees. How do they do it? Can that be replicated everywhere? Is that respect only the domain of privately held companies? Can the bad service obtained from many customer service groups be resolved? And the list goes on.

Suffice it to say all the points raised and pondered will be great food for thought, and will be addressed in the thesis. Thanks for the new challenges and your extremely valuable input.
