The rise of corporate failures in recent years accompanied by the resulting erosion of market confidence demand a renewed focus on the subject of corporate governance. While the most spectacular of these corporate failures have been those of corporations outside Malaysia, Malaysia has not been spared from its scourge.
Corporate Governance in Malaysia is thus a timely publication calling for a fresh consideration of how corporations should function in this day and age. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, and a unique post-colonial, developing-country perspective, the reader is taken beyond the traditional, narrow conception of corporate governance focusing on shareholder protection, to a broader consideration of the enhancement of the interests of all stakeholders in the corporate enterprise. Theories and the law relating to corporate governance, how they influence or undermine one another, and how they apply in the real world are given thorough analysis. This book is a must-read for all interested in the continued survival of the corporation as we know it.
