Corporate Governance: Accountability, Enterprise and International Comparisons

Kevin Keasey,Steve Thompson,Michael Wright

Description

Through a mixture of corporate scandals, increasing concerns about the rights of various stakeholders and the emergence of new economies in the Far East, corporate governance continues to be a key issue for students of economics, finance, business and management. By commissioning acknowledged academic authorities to write in-depth summaries of the debate in their chosen specialities, this text draws together the strands of the corporate governance debate from different disciplinary and country perspectives.

There is no other book that covers such a range of topics in corporate governance from the perspectives of leading academics across the globe. This book will be essential reading for students studying corporate governance for undergraduate, MA or MBA degrees.

Topics covered include:

Financial Structure and Corporate Governance (Robert Watson and Mahmoud Ezzamel – Durham and Cardiff)
Compensation Committees and Executive Compensation (Rocio Bonet and Martin Conyon – The Wharton School)
Explaining Western Securities Markets (Mark Roe – Harvard)
International Corporate Governance (Diane Denis and John McConnell – Purdue)
Corporate Governance in France (Mary O’Sullivan – INSEAD)
Corporate Governance in China (Guy Liu and Pei Sun - Brunel and Cambridge)
