This book presents an innovative and integrated approach to the theory and
practice of corporate governance. Central to this approach is a set of
instruments that can be used by boards to offer effective strategic direction
and control to their organizations. The board instruments can be readily applied
to the targeted selection, review, remuneration and development of board
members, and for conducting board self-evaluations. This new approach to
corporate governance is based on four guiding principles that together form the
basis of an integrated approach that addresses all key aspects of corporate
governance.
