Abstract

Der oekonomische Maistream propagiert die Shareholder Primacy in der Corporate Governance. Folgt man jedoch der inneroekonomisch vorgebrachten Kritik, laesst sich die Vorstellung einer Shareholder Primacy nachvollziehbar und so lange aufweichen, bis der uebrig gebliebene Rest ganz im Einklang zu der institutionellen Realitaet der Board Primacy in der Corporate Governance steht. Allerdings gelangt man zu einem unterbestimmten Board Primacy Konzept, in dem mehr darueber ausgesagt wird, was Board Primacy "nicht ist", als was sie "ist". Der Beitrag behandelt vor allem drei Fragen: Warum fuehrt die gaengige oekonomische Betrachtung zu einem unterbestimmten Board Primacy Konzept? Laesst bzw. wie laesst sich das beheben? Was folgt daraus fuer die oekonomische Theorie der Corporate Governance?
