Corporate Governance in India: Principles and Policies

Corporate governance has assumed significance in the wake of global financial crises, tumultuous economic environment, expanding corporate operations globally and reshaping of social and ethical values. This book analyses the development of corporate governance specifically in India. This work, a collaboration of two authors from diverse backgrounds, provides a 360-degree view of the subject. The book will aid future corporate and social leaders to understand the extent and utility of governance principles and how they could weave-in diverse and conflicting interests in business.This book attempts to answer pertinent questions such as: Is corporate governance a mere compliance formality or a powerful tool to attract investors and increase sales and profits of a company? How has the concept of corporate governance transcended from the times of East India Company to modern-day corporate conglomerates where financial crisis, scams and other disasters loom over? Has corporate governance in India evolved as an indigenous model or is it still inspired from the Western developments?The authors have adopted an interactive approach in writing this book where questions and discussions are designed to invoke thought leadership. Each chapter is supported by real-world cases and contemporary examples.
