The life cycle of corporate governance

This unique collection of new, previously unpublished chapters examines corporate governance and the various life cycle stages of firms and organizations.

The role of the corporate governance life cycle in different industrial and institutional contexts is identified and reviewed, and crucial governance issues relating to the transition between stages are considered.

This book will extend our understanding of governance issues beyond the narrow confines of economics and finance perspectives to embrace both learning and knowledge dimensions as well as contextual issues.
