Opis

This book debates the meaning and purpose of corporate governance in advanced countries today. The issues discussed centre on relationships within the firm e.g. between labour, managers, and investors, and relationships outside the firm that affect consumers or the environment.

Recenzje

"Corporate Governance in Contention is highly recommended reading for anyone, whether a novice student or seasoned academic, who is interested in this important topic What is fascinating when reading all of the chapters in tandem with each other is that one does gain a richer understanding of why the corporate governance agenda as currently structured is on the wrong track and of what kind measures need to be adopted to put it on the right one."
