Described as "the system by which companies are directed and controlled", corporate governance differs radically between countries. The common feature is today's global movement to ensure that governance systems are clearly defined and work well. This updated guide covers the hard law, softer regulation and norms of best practice that make up corporate governance, and gives a comparative description of the UK, US, Germany, France and Japan. Issues include the appointment of boards and executive remuneration. Charkham gives the essential context to today's debates over company law reform.
