Cases in Corporate Governance

With in-depth analysis of nine different cases, several of which have influenced the codes and regulations of corporate behaviour in the UK and America, this book explores the relationship between governance practice and theory. Each case gives readers the scope to analyse a typical situation, its outcomes, who the main actors were and how they behaved. Cases in Corporate Governance underlines that there are sometimes conflicting views as to what ‘good’ governance is. It will help students clarify their own ideas about why governance fails and what the possible solutions are. Helpful features include: - Sound and complete coverage of related theory - Chapter introductions - A concluding chapter that draws together key strands of thinking - Discussion questions
