Description

Corporate Governance: Understanding the Board-Management Relationship H Stephen Grace ISBN 9781639054343

This book offers a unique economics-driven perspective on the legal and business fundamentals of organizational governance. Drawing on years of expertise, the authors provide insights to help corporate executives, legal counsel, business managers, stockholders, and consumers understand and evaluate the actions of directors and officers—and the broader implications of those actions.

By delivering practical guidance for developing a strategic, comprehensive view of organizational responsibilities, this guide:

  • Explains the economic principles and key legal issues underpinning effective governance

  • Advocates for a shift from “tone at the top” leadership to governance grounded in substantive checks and balances

  • Highlights information gaps commonly faced by boards and board committees

  • Examines monitoring of cash flows and clarifies the responsibilities of the board, CLO, CFO, and other key officers

  • Discusses the management of intellectual capital and the expectations for board and management collaboration

  • Explores emerging governance issues, including ESG investing and the evolving scope of board responsibilities

  • Provides a framework for understanding corporate governance developments and their implications for prosecuting or defending governance-related litigation

This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how governance shapes organizational performance and legal accountability.
