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. 410 0$a2013 digital library. 410 0$aCorporate governance collection.$x1948-0415 606 $aCorporate governance 610 $acorporate governance 610 $aboards of directors 610 $ashareholders 610 $astakeholders 610 $acapitalism 610 $aSarbanes-Oxley 610 $aDodd-Frank 610 $aregulation 610 $asecurity and exchange commission 610 $aNew York Stock Exchange 610 $aNASDAQ stock exchange 610 $aauditors 610 $asecurity analysts 610 $acredit rating agencies 610 $aCEO succession planning 610 $aCEO evaluation 610 $aCEO compensation 610 $astrategy 610 $amanagement 610 $aoversight 610 $aaudit committee 610 $anominating committee 610 $acompensation committee 610 $atakeovers 610 $arisk management 610 $ashareholder activism 610 $acorporate social responsibility 610 $aglobal convergence 610 $achairman of the board 610 $alead director 615 0$aCorporate governance. 676 $a658.4 700 $aDe Kluyver$b Cornelis A$0862478 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810780403321 996 $aA primer on corporate governance$94018636 997 $aUNINA
