Product Description
The first of its kind, Nofsinger provides an overview of our corporate governance system in a flexible, modular format. Today, the term "corporate governance" is familiar to almost everyone. Unfortunately, its familiarity in our society comes about because of revelations of one shocking corporate scandal after another: executives caught pilfering from their firms; accountants helping companies doctor their financial numbers; analysts irresponsibly hyping internet stocks. Nofsingeris organized into chapters that discuss each corporate governance mechanism. Every chapter is organized in the same way, and each chapter is self-contained. Each chapter begins with a detailed overview of the monitor or monitoring mechanism, and then highlights potential problems.

5 out of 5 starsIncredible Value for the Information it Holds, 2008-11-30
I had to purchase this book for a Corporate Governance class I'm taking. Originally, I was upset at the $40 sticker price. In retrospect, this book is bargain basement in comparison to it's informational value. I reference this book all the time now! If you are new to investing, or would like to understand better how corporations and their boards function, this book offers an incredibly unbiased and informative analysis. It's very easy to read, and it gives a great perspective to the corporate scandals of the past decade. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for writing this book, Kenneth and John.

5 out of 5 starsExcellent introductory book on CG, 2004-02-10
This is an easy to read, well laid out book that is very straightforward and practical. It covers most of the crucial areas of corporate governance in 90 pages. I'm using this book for my undergraduate course on Corporate Governance course. The best part of the books is a number of examples from the corporate world that make the reading very interesting. Though I use other book as references, this book gives me the starting point on a topic.Thanks to the authors for their good work.

I strongly recommend this book anyone who is interested in corporate governance.
