Principles of contemporary corporate governance, 2nd edition

Abstract

Following the success of the first edition, Principles of Contemporary Corporate Governance Second Editionmaintains the delineation of core principles of corporate governance and provides a concise presentation of vital topics and emerging themes in corporate governance within the private sector. This definitive book not only exposes the fundamental principles of corporate governance, it builds upon them by illustrating how they are applied. It includes several prominent case studies, and directors’ duties and liabilities are illustrated by drawing on the most recent Australian court cases. Although grounded in Australian corporate governance, the book will appeal to practitioners and students of law and business management internationally. Principles of corporate governance are explicated for readers in all jurisdictions, with specific reference to the global financial crisis and the implications for corporate governance developments in the future. The OECD Principles of Corporate Governance are addressed, and specific chapters on corporate governance debates in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Japan and China have been provided by expert contributors for this new edition.
