Figure 1 was presented at a joint Judge Institute of Management Studies/ESRC Centre for Business Research Workshop on Corporate Governance in Cambridge on 11 July 1996, and was included in a briefing document circulated to participants. It draws on a diagram prepared by Alan Hughes for a seminar at the Judge Institute in February 1996 and on a diagram initially drafted by our colleague John Roberts for the Cambridge Workshop of July 1996. The present version represents the outcome of extensive discussions between the authors and John Roberts. His invaluable contribution is gratefully acknowledged.
