Organization: This book is developed on five overriding themes –

Study of corporate governance is by its nature interdisciplinary and requires knowledge of laws, rules, regulations, finance, economics, politics, organizational behavior, accounting, information systems, psychology, and other disciplines.
There is a need for a conceptual framework and knowledge base to collect comprehensively all aspects of corporate governance in a single setting such as in this book.
There should be a broad and integrated approach in studying the embedded roles and responsibilities of all corporate governance participants including investors, the board of directors, management, auditors, legal counsel, financial advisors, policymakers, regulators, and the global business and academic communities
Corporate governance is a global phenomenon and thus, there should be an international approach because corporate governance reforms in different countries are shaped by their legal, political, and cultural environment. Today’s corporate governance has emerged as best practices worldwide
Ethics consist of moral values, personal integrity, professional accountability, business legitimacy, equity, and fairness which are viewed differently by different people as acceptable standards of behavior.
