by Thomas Sheridan and Nigel Kendall

Published 29 September 1992
Who really controls companies and what are their objectives? Recent debates on such issues have enlivened corporations and academic institutions for some time and this new contribution introduces a range of entirely fresh and exciting perspectives. This book demonstrates that the key to future success is to operate so that long term goals are achieved, harnessing the interests of everyone who participates in the enterprise. It illustrates what is wrong with the way companies are governed at present and sets out a new programme which companies should adhere to if they are to achieve their long term goals.

Take a proactive approach to corporate governance with this book, which takes the whole issue of ethical business and places it firmly in the realm of market reality - relating effective and implementable corporate governance to the bottom line.

Written to become an oracle of best practice, it outlines clear, implementable structures and procedures to enable corporate decisions to be made, implemented and appropriately publicized
