The book makes an attempt to explain and appraise the concept of corporate governance with a broader approach which goes beyond committee reports and legal framework, towards the actual issues and problems faced in complying with the Corporate Governance Standards not only in letter but also in spirit. Suitable examples and case studies are given to enhance the understanding of the critical issues that require a delicate balance of what ought to be and what not. The book hopes to make a significant contribution in its own way by looking at the whole concept of corporate governance with a balanced perspective and makes a sincere effort to discuss the whole issue in an entirely new, innovative, interesting and thought provoking manner. The author hopes that the book shall be useful not only for the professionals and students but also for anyone one who has a stake in the corporate world.ContentsAcknowledgements Pgs—7Preface Pgs—9List of Abbreviations Pgs—151.
