In a business environment that is increasingly volatile, now more than ever, business students must understand the relationships between managers, boards of directors, shareholders, and investors.
The new edition of this acclaimed text offers an indispensable guide to the key concepts of corporate governance every student and business professional should know. It includes more exercises and student questions, penetrating analysis of the latest examples of corporate failure and controversy, and the lively "cases in point" which have characterized previous editions.
Corporate Governance provides an authoritative overview, offering the latest codes of practice, new cases of current interest; and a web link to The Corporate Library, the leading independent research firm in the field. It is an invaluable resource tool for business managers and students alike.
