Governance solutions for municipally owned companies: practical insights from England and Canada

Green, Stuart

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.
