The behavior of managers-such as the rewards they obtain for poor
performance, the role of boards of directors in monitoring
managers, and the regulatory framework covering the corporate
governance mechanisms that are put in place to ensure managers'
accountability to shareholder and other stakeholders-has been the
subject of extensive media and policy scrutiny in light of the
financial crisis of the early 2000s. However, corporate governance
covers a much broader set of issues, which requires detailed
assessment as a central issue of concern to business and society.
Critiques of traditional governance research based on agency theory
have noted its "under-contextualized" nature and its inability to
compare accurately and explain the diversity of corporate
governance arrangements across different institutional contexts.
The Oxford Handbook of Corporate Governance aims at closing these
theoretical and empirical gaps. It considers corporate governance
issues at multiple levels of analysis-the individual manager,
firms, institutions, industries, and nations-and presents
international evidence to reflect the wide variety of perspectives.
In analyzing the effects of corporate governance on performance, a
variety of indicators are considered, such as accounting profit,
economic profit, productivity growth, market share, proxies for
environmental and social performance, such as diversity and other
aspects of corporate social responsibility, and of course, share
price effects. In addition to providing a high level review and
analysis of the existing literature, each chapter develops an
agenda for further research on a specific aspect of corporate
governance.
This Handbook constitutes the definitive source of academic
research on corporate governance, synthesizing studies from
economics, strategy, international business, organizational
behavior, entrepreneurship, business ethics, accounting, finance,
and law.
