What is Governance? The Ethical Dilemma for Leaders and Managers: Multiple Case Studies of Corruption from China☆ should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Boards are consistently held not liable for their companies' illegal marketing efforts even though federal law prohibits off-label marketing, but a board that certifies compliance with a CIA is certifying that the company properly monitors its sales teams' promotional activities, so CIAs contractually expand the applicable legal standard. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through dynamic governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.
