Abstract

This article investigates the practical usefulness of governance solutions for corporatized entities. Case studies, including participant observation, were used to collect empirical detail. Face-to-face interaction with practitioners provided insights into ‘what works’ in this context. Cross-country 2 learning is supported by data drawn from organizations in England and Canada, respectively. Clarity of purpose, robust decision-making processes and the quality of relationships between politicians and managers were more important than a ‘one size fits all’ approach.
