提高公司可持续发展Through Governance

The Relational Corporate Governance Approach

Corporations, Globalisation and the Law series

Francesco de Zwart, Lecturer, Adelaide Law School, The University of Adelaide, Australia

This important book presents a fresh perspective on corporate governance and how the relationship between governance mechanisms, processes and variables should be understood through a new unifying theory: the relational corporate governance approach. The approach acts as a tool for analysing the governance health of individual companies and suggests the actions required to remedy sub-optimal governance arrangements. A wide selection of articles, empirical studies and literature have been translated into an original theory which complements existing law and economics models of the firm.
