"Corporate Governance in Asia provides a comprehensive overview of both national and international institutions involved in governance, and the organizations which attempt to promote it. It explores compliance issues and the role of directors and boards, and external parties. The book also examines the relationship between governance, value creation and social responsibility, and looks at how Asian firms present their governance." "Business and finance students, as well as executives with an interest in Asian business or corporate governance, will find this an authoritative and insightful guide to this complex and important topic."--BOOK JACKET.
