Hi Janet,

I like this one from ... wait for it ... Wikipedia:

"It is a system of structuring, operating and controlling a company with a
view to achieve long term strategic goals to satisfy shareholders,
creditors, employees, customers and suppliers, and complying with the legal
and regulatory requirements, apart from meeting environmental and local
community needs."

full entry can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_governance

or here: http://bit.ly/9Aozfg

The last bit about "meeting environmental and local community needs" is a
bit distracting, but I don't think it necessarily does real harm to the rest
of the definition.

Julie
