Mastering Business In Asia: Corporate Governance

The importance of Corporate Governance in today's increasingly complex business environment cannot be undermined. This timely and insightful book deals with three aspects of Corporate Governance - the interests of the shareholder and how corporate governance links to creating shareholder value; the interests of the regulators and why they are bothered about corporate governance in the battle for foreign direct investment; and the interests of the directors and the board in their attempts to run the business effectively and adhere to the principles of good governance.
