This book presents an innovative and integrated approach to the theory and practice of corporate governance. Central to this approach is a set of instruments that can be used by boards to offer effective strategic direction and control to their organizations. The board instruments can be readily applied to the targeted selection, review, remuneration and development of board members, and for conducting board self-evaluations.


This new approach to corporate governance is based on four guiding principles that together form the basis of an integrated approach that addresses all key aspects of corporate governance.
