Summary
This chapter points to the importance of addressing shadow business practices through a functional perception of de facto control. The book has shown that shadow business practices are a potential outcome whenever a formal definition of control is applied. I conclude by arguing that the European Union should strive to use its power as a norm creator to establish a harmonized concept of de facto control based on a Systems Thinking approach.
