Recenzii

A group of distinguished scholars take up the familiar theme of corporate governance, casting it in the light of a developing and comprehensive complex of corporate, market and concomitant regulating and economic changes that most of the world's industries have experienced since the eighties of the previous century. In this timely handbook, they explore this critical issue with distance and nuance. A broad spectrum of issues is discussed, which cover the main subjects of discussion in academia, such as the need for multiple methodological and multiple theoretical approaches in order to study this domain and is at the same time of practical relevance, because it deals with issues like board evaluation, board effectiveness, innovation, strategy, the need for and developments in regulation and the connection of corporate governance to corporate social responsibility and sustainability. This well-written book puts corporate governance developments explicitly in their economic, global, and legal context and ends with dilemmas policy makers and managers or executives are faced with and finally discusses emerging issues of governance and sustainability

[The SAGE Handbook of Corporate Governance] is a mine of practical and relevant thinking to be quarried by all with an interest in the governance of corporations. It is monumental in scope, but it looks to the past only as a guide to the future. In essence, the Handbook represents a work in progress. It is a beginning not an end and is the base from which the further development of corporate governance will be chronicled
