Abstract
The governance structure of Berkshire Hathaway is remarkably different from that of other corporations, and most of its features do not conform to the 'best practices' recommended by experts. Why is this an important exception, and what can it teach us about best practices in governance? This case is part of the Stanford Graduate School of Business free case collection (visit www.thecasecentre.org/stanfordfreecases for more information on the collection).
