New to this edition

More examples of articles and research including updates to Stewardship Code material
Coverage of current governance issues such as bonuses and the high pay commission
A greater emphasis will be given to the perspective of stakeholders to balance out the perceived bias towards shareholders
The chapters in corporate governance in Europe have been streamlined to give a more concise description of governance in their region.

Building on the success of the last three editions, this textbook provides both undergraduate and postgraduate students with an accessible and comprehensive introduction to corporate governance. As a renowned expert in the field, Mallin draws upon theory and practice to address the latest global developments and uses topical examples to help students place key theories in context.

Adopting an international approach, this fourth edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect the changes in codes (e.g. UK CG code and Stewardship code) and a greater emphasis has been given to the perspective of stakeholders as well as increased coverage of the Middle East, and new analysis of topics such as bonuses and the high pay commission.

The book is accompanied by an Online Resource Centre which includes:

For students: Fill in the blank questions, updates, web links, crosswords of key terms and an author's blog

For lecturers: PowerPoint presentations

Readership: Second and third year undergraduates and postgraduate business, economics, and accounting and finance students. As this book is an introduction to the topic which is not intended to be critical it is suitable for undergraduates and masters courses where a basic introduction to the subject is required.
