Fundamentals of Corporate Governance assembles definitive work by leading international scholars in the field of corporate governance from the United States, UK, Europe, Asia and Australia. The editors of this four-volume set provide an illuminating focus on the mechanisms and institutions of corporate governance. Each of the volumes address a major theme, examining historical and current debates, analyzing research findings, and projecting policy development.
Volume I explores fundamental issues of ownership and control.
Volume II looks at the board of directors and how boards maintain balance and exercise strategic control.
Volume III examines the controversial issue of CEO power and reward.
Volume IV considers the increasing influence of institutional investors and the importance of corporate social responsibility.
Fundamentals of Corporate Governance appeals to university and institutional libraries wishing to have an accessible, authoritative guide to corporate governance. As corporate governance has become more prominent in public debate it is increasingly included in the mainstream business and management curriculum, and this critical development is likely to continue.
