As with any complex system, corporate governance functions best when all of its constituent elements work in harmony, when each performs its assigned role, with the right incentives, properly aligned interests, and the right tools for the job. The turbulent history of corporate governance in recent years is testimony that this has not always been the case.2013 digital library.Corporate governance collection.1948-0415Corporate governancecorporate governanceboards of directorsshareholdersstakeholderscapitalismSarbanes-OxleyDodd-Frankregulationsecurity and exchange commissionNew York Stock ExchangeNASDAQ stock exchangeauditorssecurity analystscredit rating agenciesCEO succession planningCEO evaluationCEO compensationstrategymanagementoversightaudit committeenominating committeecompensation committeetakeoversrisk managementshareholder activismcorporate social responsibilityglobal convergencechairman of the boardlead directorCorporate governance.658.4De Kluyver Cornelis A862478MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787732903321A primer on corporate governance3685152UNINA
