This book provides an overview of corporate governance issues for students and practitioners. Chapters are written by well informed academics in various disciplines, and the book covers the public sector and the international dimension (Europe and the USA) from the overlapping of economics, finance, and accounting.

There is little doubt that corporate governance has become one of the key issues for students of business and management in the 1990s. This book is the first to draw together the various strands of the debate from the economics, finance, and accounting perspectives, and from an international angle that includes discussion of the issues as they relate to governance in the UK, USA, Germany, Japan, and Eastern Europe.
