Corporate Governance in Action

<p>Over time we have seen large corporations, in many cases with multinational operations, begin to play an increasingly significant role in modern society. This in turn has put the governance of these corporations into focus.</p><p></p><p>Against this background, Corporate Governance in Action helps provide a framework for examining corporate governance through a focus provided by external pressures on large corporations. It also brings together the approach of economics and finance with theories in organization studies, such as aspects of resource dependency theory. This framework takes into consideration not only the market relations of modern corporations but also their dependence on regulators and different kind of scrutinizers.</p><p></p><p>This thoughtful book is a complete research guide that provides a new understanding and applicable framework for advanced students, academics and researchers in the area of corporate governance and the related disciplines.</p> <p>Chapter One: Resituating Corporate Governance</p><p>Lars Engwall, Jaan Grünberg, Josef Pallas, Kerstin Sahlin, Linda Wedlin, Stefan Arora-Jonsson, Helena Buhr, Katarina Buhr, Magnus Frostenson, Ingemund Hägg, Laurence Romani, Lars Strannegård and Karolina Windell</p><p></p><p>Chapter Two: A Field Approach to Corporate Governance</p><p>Lars Engwall, Jaan Grünberg, Josef Pallas, Kerstin Sahlin, Linda Wedlin, Stefan Arora-Jonsson, Helena Buhr, Katarina Buhr, Magnus Frostenson, Ingemund Hägg, Laurence Romani, Lars Strannegård and Karolina Windell</p><p></p><p>Chapter Three: Regulators</p><p>Linda Wedlin, Katarina Buhr, and Kerstin Sahlin</p><p></p><p>Chapter Four: Market Actors</p><p>Jaan Grünberg and Ingemund Hägg</p><p></p><p>Chapter Five: Scrutinizers: NGOs</p><p>Magnus Frostenson, Laurence Romani, and Karolina Windell</p><p></p><p>Chapter Six: Scrutinizers: Media</p><p>Helena Buhr, Stefan Arora-Jonsson and Josef Pallas</p><p></p><p>Chapter Seven: Governance Relations</p><p>Lars Engwall, Jaan Grünberg, Josef Pallas, Kerstin Sahlin, Linda Wedlin, Stefan Arora-Jonsson, Helena Buhr, Katarina Buhr, Magnus Frostenson, Ingemund Hägg, Laurence Romani, Lars Strannegård and Karolina Windell</p><p></p><p>Chapter Eight: Conclusions</p><p>Lars Engwall, Jaan Grünberg, Josef Pallas, Kerstin Sahlin, Linda Wedlin, Stefan Arora-Jonsson, Helena Buhr, Katarina Buhr, Magnus Frostenson, Ingemund Hägg, Laurence Romani, Lars Strannegård and Karolina Windell</p><p></p>
