In order to sell your business for top dollar, you must demonstrate its value. That value is based on a lot of numbers and calculations, but it also includes factors that can be harder to capture on paper.

In a new paper, we compare the main models of corporate governance (Schoenmaker, Schramade and Winter, 2022). One is the stakeholder model, which recognizes that companies have responsibilities to society that are broader than just making a profit.
