But , as the current " shareholder spring " attests , principals have been bad at monitoring their agents .
然而,正如最近发生的“股东之春”运动证明,委托人对管理者监管不力。

Mr jensen argues that their biggest drawback is what economists call the principal-agent problem : the split between the people who own the company ( principals ) and those who run it ( agents ) .
