Corporate?

[edit]

Why are governing bodies described as "a corporate form of management"? Isn't "governing body" essentially synonymous with "government"? If not, why not? Sarge Baldy 03:09, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Governing bodyGoverning Body – There are two types of titles mixed together on this page: three of the links are titles for a thing actually named "Governing Body", and capitalized to reflect that this is a formal name; and the remaining six are either non-matching titles or partial title matches describing bodies engaged in some kind of governance. Move this page to the capitalized form and redirect the lowercase to governance, which covers this topic. bd2412 T 11:53, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose we could start with something like:
A governing body is a group of people that has the authority to exercise governance over an organization or political entity. The most formal is a government, a body whose sole responsibility and authority is to make binding decisions in a given geopolitical system (such as a state) by establishing laws. Other types of governing include an organization (such as a corporation recognized as a legal entity by a government), a socio-political group (chiefdom, tribe, family, religious denomination, etc.), or another, informal group of people. In business and outsourcing relationships, governance frameworks are built into relational contracts that foster long-term collaboration and innovation. Poor governance can lead to contract failure.[1]
