Absolute Essentials of Corporate Governance by Stephen Bloomfield
This shortform textbook, a concise overview of the development and current state of corporate governance, provides a critical narrative on the field. Beginning with insightful historical background, the author shows how value-adding corporate governance involves more than unthinking compliance to a recitation of statutes, regulations and principles, devoid of context. Features include basic definitions, reviews of theoretical governance problems, and a worldwide review of current governance provisions along with more detail on the UK situation. Revealing the geology of governance in the business world, the book highlights its progress set into a framework of regulation and law. This textbook provides a brief, authoritative summary of the field for two core audiences: as a reference for specialist readers, and as an concise introduction for non-specialist readers."..Provides a platform that moves beyond unthinking compliance, with particular reference to the UK and Europe, concludes with a prescient global review [and] deserves the widest possible readership in the domain of corporate business."
Gabriel Flynn, Dublin City University, Ireland
