Essential for academics and practitioners researching and working
towards better business ethicsIn a world where the implications and
consequences of corporate actions and decisions are potentially
far-reaching and lasting, ethical standards--their observance and
their breach--must be part of the language of business conduct,
whether in the context of corporate transgressions, regulatory
effectiveness, terms of engagement between business and their
stakeholders, or the metrics used by investors in assessing
performance and risk and understanding long-term value.This
critically important book proposes a new paradigm for
understanding, developing and maintaining standards of corporate
governance. Its point of departure is not a position along the
diverse paths of traditional corporate governance and regulatory
theory, law and practice, nor specific questions of how to
institute, implement and observe policies and practices that
function as proxies for good governance. Instead, it starts with
the idea of framing governance generally, and corporate governance
specifically, as a matter of conduct that is guided by a set of
fundamental ideals and principles."Evolutions in Corporate
Governance" attempts to answer the wider question of how to
reimagine a framework within which good corporate governance--that
takes account of and is responsible for the social, environmental,
ethical as well as legal and economic dimensions of business
conduct--is addressed alongside issues of profitability and
competition, in the face of forces of globalization and business
influence that are testing the limits of what can be accomplished
by traditional law and regulation. Dempsey contends that meaningful
change in behavior will come only when there is a corporate
governance framework that explicitly encompasses both law and
ethics.This book is an outstanding work of subtle and sophisticated
scholarship, one that ranges across diverse literatures, and makes
a profound contribution to our knowledge of corporate governance
and ethics. It will be essential reading for both academics and
practitioners researching and working towards better business
ethics."
