Year: 2009
Type: article
Abstract: In a complex, global economy, firms seek a range of mechanisms for addressing reg-ulatory and social movement pressures. This requires an evolution beyond our cur-rent models of response to regulation and control. This paper offers ideas on collaborative control and industry self-regulation as alternative mechanisms for addressing regulatory complexity. It explores a range of self-regulatory practices worldwide, proposes a framework for examining its use, potential and limits, and discusses the critical role of third-party organisations in the process. l Business– government l Business–NGO relationships l Standards organisations l Strategic response to regulation Lawrence J.
