Abstract

Das vorliegende Papier schl�gt eine neue Sicht auf Probleme der Corporate Governance vor. Es wird analysiert, wie der Unternehmenssektor bez�glich Governance vom politischen Bereich lernen kann. Demokratien haben einzigartige Institutionen der F�hrung und Kontrolle von Akteuren im �ffentlichen Bereich geschaffen, welche neue Einsichten f�r die Governance von Unternehmen geben k�nnen. Drei Bereiche werden diskutiert und konkret auf den Kontext der Schweizer Corporate Governance angewendet: Gewaltenteilung im Unternehmen, kompetitive Wahlen f�r Kernfunktionen in der Firma, und direktdemokratische Beteiligungsrechte f�r Aktion�re.
