Advancing the Human Capital Perspective on Value Creation by Joining Capabilities and Governance Approaches (2015, background): “We respond by suggesting that in a world of bounded rationality, potentially opportunistic behavior, uncertainty, asset specificity, and asymmetric information, there are likely to be inadequate contractual safeguards for those other than the shareholders (Simon, 1947; Williamson, 1975).”
