Summary

"Corporate Governance provides a concise and up to-date overview of the corporate governance system. The third edition has been updated throughout. Highlights include a new chapter on the current crisis. This chapter discusses excessive risk-taking by financial firms that eventually led to the crisis. The role of the government as a de facto rescuer of last resort and the government's bailout of troubled firms. The "Securities and Exchange Commission" and the "New Governance Rules" chapters are now combined into one chapter. This combined chapter also includes a discussion of the effects of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. And, this book reports on latest research findings. Key chapters now contain a box that outlines Recent Research from scholars."--Jacket.
