Prof. David Silver of the University of British Columbia discusses key ideas from his newly released book, “Corporations and Persons: A Theory of the Firm in Democratic Society.”
The book argues that corporations are moral persons with duties toward democratic society. It proposes a persons-based theory of the firm, which sees the creation of products and services that benefit people as its core purpose, distinct from profit-maximization views. It emphasizes that corporations’ rights and duties should be shaped democratically, that societies can structure firms to serve justice, and that the corporate–society relationship must evolve from dysfunction to mutual respect to protect democratic values.

Who Handles the Tough Talk? Insights from Dr. Rachael Goodwin
Dr. Rachael Goodwin, Assistant Professor of Management at Syracuse University’s Whitman School of Management, delves into her research, “Who Handles the Tough Talk? Supervisor Sense of Power and Confronting Difficult Issues.”
Addressing sensitive workplace issues is vital for effective leadership, yet even powerful supervisors may avoid such conversations. Dr. Rachael Goodwin’s research distinguishes between structural and personal senses of power, showing that supervisors who feel more powerful are more likely to confront difficult issues and offer social support. Drawing on social role theory, the study also explores gender differences finding that women, regardless of felt power, tend to approach tough talks more constructively and with greater empathy.
