  • Product Description

    The first edition of this textbook was the first to focus comprehensively on corporate governance - the most important development in business over the last decade. The abuses and excesses of the takeover era and the exponential growth of the institutional investor have transformed the roles of the shareholders, managers, and directors of publicly held companies. Corporate Governance explains how it happened, where it is going, and what the impact will be. Including extensive case studies and selected outside materials, this is an indispensable resource for students of business, law, and public policy.

    For the second edition the authors are planning the following revisions:

    Complete reworking of the international chapter, including excerpts from OECD, Hemphill, Mckenzie, and World Bank reports plus comparisons of international corporate governance best practices.

    Excerpts from NACD reports on board professionalism and CEO succession.

    New in-depth case studies on Stone and Webster and waste management.

    Impact of the internet on shareholder communications and disclosure.

    New cases - Daimler-Benz; Dow-Jones; Saatchi & Saatchi; Furr's/Luby's; Mirror; Brazil; Political contributions (US/UK).

    Updated cases - Inc General Motors; Sears.
