Mastering Global Corporate Governance 1st Edition – PDF/EPUB Version Downloadable

Corporate Governance is the hottest topic of the new millennium. Gone are the days when CEOs set agendas and top-down management was the norm. Now, transparency rules. Corporations must establish new systems of accountability, and encourage long-term participation in decision-making by both shareholders and staff. The role of the directorate and the need to ensure an effective framework for its accountability to owners is paramount to success. In line with this thinking, Mastering Global Corporate Governance argues that one of the key responsibilities of a board is leadership, and that the root of good corporate governance lies in the strength of a corporate leader. In particular, it focuses on two ‘burning issues’ for senior executives: how can the boards of global companies best lead their firms through the fundamental dilemmas that face all boards?; and how can Boards, entrusted with ultimate responsibility for the way a company exercises leadership, actually provide that leadership?
