A chapter in Global Perspectives on Ethics of Corporate Governance, 2006, pp 1-6 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Corporate governance has gained unprecedented prominence in recent years. The failures and successes of modern corporations are equally responsible for this. Modern corporations are not innocent victims of external conditions; rather, they created the very circumstances that made corporate governance so prominent. It cannot be denied that spectacular corporate failures, the abuse of managerial power, and the phenomenal growth in social power and influence of corporations contributed significantly to the prominence of corporate governance issues.
