About the Book How should companies be organized? To whom should boards of directors be responsible--shareholders, or a wider group of stakeholders? In this fiercely competitive world we cannot judge our own system of corporate governance in isolation; it must bear comparison with the best. The second edition of this acclaimed and well-established book aims to do just that. <p/>Since publication of the first edition interest in corporate governance has greatly increased, codes have proliferated, and principles laid down nationally and internationally. In <em>Keeping Better Company</em>, the author describes developments in the system of corporate governance--both the business environment and the particular structures of company organization--in five major industrial countries: Germany, Japan, France, the USA, and the UK. <p/>This second edition is fully revised, updated and expanded, and includes a new conclusion looking at a number of ongoing issues in corporate governance, and an appendix discussing the role of international organizations.<br>
