I believe that questions about governance are among the most significant that students of social systems can ask. Some share this belief ? governance questions have normally been considered important in literature on the social responsibilities or performance of business [See selections in Dill.], and interest in such questions seems to be increasing among theorists. [See selections in Nystrom and Starbuck.] On the other hand, some are suspicious of talk about organizational governance, for the term is rather value-laden. To advocates of an ultra free-enterprise philosophy, it may be seen as a code-word for new interference in private corporate affairs. To advo? cates of a value-free social science, it may suggest an unwelcome depar? ture from purely descriptive inquiry. I will address these concerns in this paper. My primary purpose is to advance a framework that might facilitate discussion of governance issues between researchers with different value orientations. The framework is a contractual model of organization; my analysis will contrast this model with com? peting views and clarify its implications for problems of governance
