Corporate actor

Corporate actors are organizations that are controlled by an owner or hierarchical management ( top-down organizations). The activities are carried out by employees whose own interests have been neutralized by employment contracts.

While a collective actor is dependent on and is controlled by the preferences of the members, the leadership of the corporate actor can decide independently. Both types of actors have in common that several actors are involved who pursue a common goal or jointly produce a good or a service.
