Official Source Note

The University of Oxford identifies Mayer with the Saïd Business School and records his work in corporate finance and governance. Oxford materials also describe his research on ownership, regulation, trust, and the role of the corporation in society.

Mayer is included because his scholarship joins empirical comparison of European ownership structures to institutional questions about corporate commitment, purpose, accountability, and long-term value creation.
