Our next president must make sure corporations play by the rules, without stifling innovation, says Aaron Chatterji. How will a new president walk that important tightrope, protecting the public from events such as the recent Volkswagen scandal, while encouraging business innovation and investment? That's a key question to pose to candidates, Chatterji says, in the latest edition of Glad You Asked, an audio podcast devoted to issues that deserve greater attention in the 2016 political campaign.

Chatterji is an associate professor at the Fuqua School of Business.

He discusses corporate activism in this broadcast on NBC News. 

Chatterji also co-wrote an opinion piece on corporate activism in the New York Times.
