| 520 | 1 | |a "Forty years ago, almost all power in any given corporation was wielded by senior managers while shareholders were essentially powerless and the board of directors provided an occasional rubber stamp. The Enron scandal and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are now emblematic of how corporate power has more recently ebbed away from management toward the competing claims of shareholders and directors."

This book will explore whether such changes are desirable by offering and interdisciplinary analysis of board-centered systems."--BOOK JACKET | |
