Corporate Governance Matters: A Closer Look at Organizational Choices and Their Consequences

An excellent book and all you really need to get a grasp of the vast amount of material in the field of corporate governance. The book is concise, clear and state-of-the art.David Larcker is a senior scholar in the field of Accounting; he was a Professor at the Wharton School before Stanford. The book draws upon (peer-reviewed) academic studies and distills these into plain English. Speculation is eschewed in favor of sound empirics and common-sense theory.

This book was suggested by my professor at college and I had to buy it again after graduation to read it since i had an electronic copy at that time. If you want start educating yourself about corporate governance this is the right place.

Good

The author presents all the different dimensions of corporate governance clearly. For a first-time board member, the book is a great overview on the issues you will be asked to consider.

Relevant information and the Kindle format is easy to read.

I believe this guide is meant for attorneys but I found parts of it very helpful for me as an auditor performing anti-trust audits.

Ignores common sense principles and responsibilities of corporate governance in a post modern capitalist economy where 52 of the largest economies of the world are multinational companies not sovereign nations

The book is updated with latest knowledge and research results. Very informative.

Perfect, thank you!

Thanks
