I commend Corporate
Governance to everyone who
wishes to understand the
international importance and
nature of corporate governance.
Sir Adrian Cadbury
(about the first edition)
Corporate Governance
and Chairmanship
A Personal View
Adrian Cadbury,
Chancellor, Aston University
Corporate governance has become a major
Corporate Governance
issue in business over the last decade.
Adrian Cadbury has played a central role
in developing policies, good practice, and
our understanding of the complex issues
involved. In 1992 he chaired the committee,
sponsored by the Bank of England, whose
Report on the Financial Aspects of Corporate
Governance (commonly known as the
‘Cadbury Report’) put issues of corporate
governance on the map.

•The international approach to corporate governance
tackles the topical issues of globalisation and emerging
markets. This gives students a truly global picture of
corporate governance in the real world.
•Using new and updated examples, the development
of corporate governance is contextualised throughout
the book so that students can see its application in the
real world.
New to this edition:
•Extracts from news articles have been added,
encouraging students to read from further sources.
This also ensures the material in the book is topical
and has a real-world context for more theoretical areas.
The second edition of this well-established text is student-
focussed with an international approach to corporate
governance. Well written and easy to engage with, a sound
theoretical base is built upon to encompass the latest
developments in corporate governance. The increasingly
topical areas of globalization and emerging markets are
tackled, and changes in corporate governance codes in the
UK and internationally are accounted for.
