Reviews

Reviews from previous edition'I have always regarded Bob Tricker to be the father of corporate governance since his 1984 book introduced me to the words 'corporate governance'' Sir Adrian Cadbury, former Managing Director and Chairman of Cadbury-Schweppes`The book undoubtedly is the most authoritative and convincing account of corporate governance available, which all readers will find illuminating and highly instructive' Professor Tom Clarke, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia and author of Theories of Corporate Governance`This is the definitive account of the origins and the history of corporate governance. It sketches the development of governance with a magisterial pen covering forty years and all continents. For anyone interested in the field, you must read this book, no - you must own this book.' Robert AG Monks, advocate of better corporate governance and author of Corporate Governance
