    About this ebook







    Transparency has become a key objective of corporations and a pressing
    demand of shareholders, many of whom have seen their fortunes slip away
    because of financial irregularities and hyperinflated stock prices.






    And the best way to ensure that shareholders have a clear, accurate
    picture of a corporation's financial health is to ensure the soundness
    of its corporate governance--the complex policies and procedures that
    dictate the relationships between shareholders, boards of directors,
    CEOs, managers and employees, customers, suppliers, creditors, and more.






    Advocating a market-based corporate governance system based on
    maximizing shareholder wealth--but packed with safeguards to counter the
    effects of greed and incompetence--A Blueprint for Corporate
    Governance     helps link each activity, whether it's pricing models,
    financial reporting, or dividend structure, to the crucial question:
    Does it increase shareholder wealth?






    Packed with real-world examples, academic research, and statistical
    data, A Blueprint for Corporate Governance is the first complete,
    authoritative guide to bring together a state-of-the-art overview of
    governance practices with a detailed plan for helping managers,
    executives, and boards of directors focus their activities on building
    value for the shareholder.
