Rezensionen

"This book successfully combines the value creation and the behavioural and ethical approaches to the study of boards, offering a systemic framework which contributes to both the practitioner and the academic debate. I'm especially pleased to see that the subject of corporate governance is deployed with reference to all classes of firms and to different stages of their life, whereas most literature is still concentrated on large listed companies. The book suggests a wide range of different views and interpretations of the roles of boards and governance in our society." Professor Giuseppe Airoldi, Department of Strategy, Bocconi University, Italy
