This book explores why listed corporations in Peru decided to comply with a voluntary code of corporate governance practice introduced in 2014 to over 200 corporations registered on the Lima stock exchange. It looks at why some listed corporations would incur the expense of actively complying with such a code when it is neither suited to their corporate ownership structures, nor to their equity markets. Combining empirical research with a sound theoretical base and interviews with those working in the field, the book comes to an objective conclusion that rejects the description that big businesses in Latin America are self-interested and frequently corrupt, and instead are concerned about sustainability and building legitimacy in their chosen domains. John Lawrence is an independent director and completed his PhD in political economy at UCL, in which the focus was on understanding how companies registered with the Lima stock exchange make decisions on corporate governance matters in general and on their compliance with a voluntary code introduced in 2014. Before his career in academia, he had a successful career in management consulting, advising on strategy to the boards of more than 50 corporations in the financial services markets and ran his own firm for over 25 years.? . 410 0$aStudies of the Americas 606 $aCorporate governance 606 $aInternational business enterprises 606 $aCorporate Governance 606 $aInternational Business 615 0$aCorporate governance. 615 0$aInternational business enterprises. 615 14$aCorporate Governance. 615 24$aInternational Business. 676 $a658.4 700 $aLawrence$b John$0378098 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911034935303321 996 $aTake-Up, Resistance and Transformation of Corporate Governance Codes$94449464 997 $aUNINA
