Corporate governance mechanisms are recognised as the critical fulcrum of business and management decision-making, with a deep impact not only upon corporate performance but economic prosperity and social well-being. Controversies in corporate governance have seized the public imagination concerning issues such as corporate collapse, executive compensation, the security of superannuation funds, and mergers and takeovers. Corporate governance is a relatively new field, but has now moved from the margins to the mainstream of business and management education. However, discovering the origins and foundations of corporate governance involves a lengthy search through law, finance, economics, accounting and management journals. Most of the original and essential corporate governance literature is therefore highly dispersed and often inaccessible to business and management students today. This unique collection brings together this widely dispersed material for the first time, providing students and researchers in corporate governance with an unrivalled research resource.
