The manner in which the stakeholders in a corporation relate to one another. Corporate governance has a positive connotation and a company with "good" corporate governance is said to be a company in which all stakeholders relate to each other in a positive way. Good corporate governance is considered an important quality of sustainable growth for a company; that is, if the shareholders, management, and employees all fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities to one another, the corporation is thought to have a greater likelihood of success. Corporate governance is laid out in the corporation's charter and other applicable documents.
