In the 5th edition of this successful book Martin Hilb presents an innovative and integrated approach to the theory and practice of corporate governance. Central to this approach is a set of instruments - developed and tested by the author - 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 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: keep it situational, keep it strategic, keep it integrated, and keep it controlled. Together, these principles form the basis of an integrated approach to all key aspects of corporate governance. The main arguments in each section are supported by conceptual models, practical board tools and case studies, making the book ideally suited to board members, senior managers and post-graduate students. This new edition is updated throughout the book and includes a new chapter on mobile integrated board management and documentation information systems.

The participants of internal or external board seminars, or university students, then work in teams to analyze the problem, develop an innovative and feasible solution, and summarize the most important lessons learned.

"Martin Hilb's new book recommends a new type of international executive: the glocalpreneur whose name is truly self-explanatory. The term reflects the new leader who combines global, strategic/conceptual thinking and effectiveness with local responsiveness in an entrepreneurial, visionary way, representing an impeccable sense of integrity and personal values. This is precisely what transnational companies need at the top to become leaders of change rather than victims of change." --Dr. Egon P.S. Zehnder, Chairman of the Board, Egon Zehnder Interantiona Inc.

Martin Hilb is a professor of business studies at the University Gallen.
