Corporate Governance: Economic and Financial Issues

by Kevin Keasey (Editor), Steve Thompson (Editor), Mike Wright (Editor)

Overview

There is little doubt that corporate governance has become one of the key issues for students of business and management in the 1990s. This book is the first to draw together the various strands of the debate from the economics, finance, and accounting perspectives, and from an international angle that includes discussion of the issues as they relate to governance in the UK, USA, Germany, Japan, and Eastern Europe.
