What is it about?
This article investigates areas for possible improvement in the governance and management of large New Zealand Maori dairy farm businesses. The Maori way of doing business is described in this study as having a ‘quadruple bottom line’ of profit, people, environment and community business objectives. Maori are genuine leaders of dairy farm environmental management, due in part to their attitudes to land ownership, business values and holistic world views.

Why is it important?
The top tier of NZ Maori farming trusts comprises fast growing enterprises, which are rapidly improving business performance. The expertise and governance of large corporate farms have much to offer other farming businesses.
Perspectives
Indigenous peoples throughout the world have intriguing holistic world views which impact on their values, way of doing business and entreprenuership. New Zealand Maori farming Trusts are making rapid progress and all farming businesses have much to learn from these large family corporate farm businesses.
