Corporate Governance In Malaysia, Student Edition

This book is a timely publication calling for a fresh consideration of how corporations should function in this day and age. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, and a unique post-colonial, developing-country perspective, the reader is taken beyond the traditional, narrow conception of corporate governance focusing on shareholder protection, to a broader consideration of the enhancement of the interests of all stakeholders in the corporate enterprise. Theories and the law relating to corporate governance, how they influence or undermine one another, and how they apply in the real world are given thorough analysis.
