For this first time, this volume analyzes major articles of association and company charters past and present and discusses them in accompanying essays. Twenty-seven contributions gauge the world of articles of association, from the Medici to the Dutch East India Company to Google; from the Fugger family to Siemens, the Auto Union, the ADAC and FIFA; and from IG Farben to the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation.
