    Colleagues:

     

    Business Expert Press is pleased to announce the release of "A Primer on Corporate Governance" authored by Professor Cornelis (Kees) A. de Kluyver.  "This book is written for senior executives and corporate directors and (as the title suggests) is a primer on corporate governance - the system that defines the distribution of rights and responsibilities among different participants in the corporation, such as the board, managers, shareholders and other stakeholders, and spells out the rules and procedures for making decisions on corporate affairs. Corporate governance also deals with how a company's objectives are set, and the means of attaining those objectives and monitoring performance."  You can read more about this new BEP release at http://www.businessexpertpress.com/node/46.

     

    Along with Kenneth Merchant at USC, I edit the Corporate Governance series (and the strategic management series) for BEP and am always looking for new book proposals.  Our books offer concise distillations of leading edge business practices in a form accessed by executives and used in executive education programs around the globe.  Take a look at BEP online or contact me directly if you have an interest in joining our author team.
