Description
Book SynopsisThis important volume re-integrates corporate governance and business ethics which are too often treated as separate entities. The editors have selected seminal works which refocus on the ethical import of corporate governance foundations. This collection also traces recent ways in which the ethics of corporate governance have been articulated through reviews of practice, ethical re-evaluations, agency theory, the stakeholder concept, and comparative and international developments. It brings together a range of alternative perspectives and new directions in this vital and dynamic field. The authoritative volume will be an essential source of reference for students and scholars concerned with the power and responsibility of corporations.
