In this case the covered types of corporate governance are the 'shareholder' and the 'stakeholder' model. Generally, corporate governance is a matter of who owns the rights and the authority to make and influence companies' decisions, which objectives are aligned and how it is controlled if executed decisions are together good ones. Corporate governance systems differ especially from the unequal role of shareholders and stakeholders, wherefore there exists the distinction between the 'shareholder' and the 'stakeholder' model of corporate governance.
