The decade since the publication of the Cadbury Report in1992 has
seen growing interest in corporate governance. This growth has
recently become an explosion with major corporate scandals such as
World Com and Enron in the US, the international diffusion of
corporate governance codes and wider interest in researching
corporate governance in different institutional contexts and
through different subject lenses.
In view of these developments, this book will be a
rigorous update and development of the editor’s
earlier work, Corporate Governance: Economic, Management and
Financial Issues. Each chapter, written by an expert in
the subject offers a high level review of the topic, embracing
material from financial accounting, strategy and economic
perspectives.
