Other organizational structures exist besides public corporations. Examples include family-controlled businesses, venture-backed companies, private equity-owned businesses, and nonprofit organizations.

It provides answers to the questions: What are the purposes of these organizations? What governance solutions do they adopt? How effective are they in meeting their objectives?
