公司治理的New Global Economy series

Edited by Mahmoud Ezzamel, Cardiff Professorial Fellow, Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University, UK

This unique volume brings together contributions on corporate governance published in various disciplines, including accounting, economics, finance and management. Mahmoud Ezzamel presents a collection of seminal papers that focus on the relationship between boards of directors and corporate governance. Governance, Directors and Boards investigates such important issues as the composition of boards of directors, their key overall roles as mechanisms of governance, the impact of the board on the nature of decision making in contemporary organisations, and the role of the relationship between the board and the determination of executive remuneration.

‘This is unquestioningly an essential reference work for any person who wants to muster a good knowledge of this research area. Highly recommended reading for researchers.’

‘This book by Professor Ezzamel represents a major milestone in the literature on corporate governance by integrating most of the leading edge research on governance, directors and boards in a single volume. I am particularly impressed by the interdisciplinary nature of this book and the painstaking effort at creating a collection of empirical papers that build upon each other in an additive fashion. This book is a “must have” in the personal library of corporate governance scholars and should be widely used around doctoral programs in strategy around the world.’
