Opis

The first book to focus on European rather than US corporate governance, this volume provides a comprehensive overview of the European Corporate Governance agenda. Comprising a collection of key articles from existing literature, contextualized by expert editorial commentary and an original introduction, it is an excellent companion volume to the Theories of Corporate Governance and International Corporate Governance.

Offering readers the most penetrating analysis available of key problem areas European Corporate Governance examines a range of topics, including:

• current issues of diversity
• convergence
• shareholder value
• CEO power
• innovation
• different industry experience
• transitional economies.

Contemporary, critical and more problem focused than other volumes on this topic, it is an invaluable textbook for students of all levels studying corporate governance.
