Publisher's Synopsis
In so doing, it considers not only the common usage/conception of corporate as a descriptor—i.e., the commercial dimension— but also its wider and more basic definition, particularly as it applies to organised groups or "bodies" of agents acting for reasons of common purpose. In some cases this went beyond the motivation of purpose to include the actual legal status and perceived responsibilities of such agents, leading to what might be described as"corporate architectures" in both the narrowest and broadest sense of that term.
