Corporate Governance 3rd Edition by Kim and Nofsinger


Corporate Governance 3rd Edition PDF Download Ebook. Kenneth Kim, John R. Nofsinger and Derek J Mohr offer modular format, sheds light on these recent problems and scandals through a detailed explanation of the corporate governance mechanism, and the various incentives within today’s governance system, while offering potential solutions in context.

The goal of every firm is to increase its shareholders' wealth. However, the firm's value diminishes when it does not have the trust of its shareholders. The entire economy suffers when trust is broken. Effective corporate governance can instill confidence, and thus trust, in our companies and markets.

Believe it or not, we already have an extensive system of corporate governance. The system has never been perfect, but we have only begun to notice it. Now, the media regularly discusses corporate governance, and it is also discussed in every business school around the world.

This textbook, the first of its kind, provides an overview of our corporate governance system. The textbook can be used as an important supplement for (a) any corporate finance class, (b) an accounting class, (c) a variety of management classes, such as strategy, ethics, and/or especially business and society, and (d) a business law class. It is appropriate for both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

In addition, this text is sufficiently self-contained to be used as the sole text in an MBA module specifically focusing on corporate governance. The book can also be used for executive training programs and to this end can serve as an important reference for executive and academic libraries.

The text begins with an overview of the U.S. corporation. In the first chapter, we lay out the reasons why effective corporate governance is needed. In general, we believe that there are eight basic ways in which corporations can be effectively monitored. As such, after the first chapter, the rest of the book is organized into eight chapters.

Every chapter is organized in the same way, and each chapter is self-contained. Chapters begin with a detailed overview of the monitor or monitoring mechanism and then highlight potential problems. Real-world examples are used to illustrate these problems. At the end of each chapter, we provide Questions that are based on the chapter reading, and we also offer Exercises that students can do to further their understanding of the chapter material.

While this textbook can be used in many ways in the classroom, one that works well is to use the contents of one or two chapters as the basis of discussions in a seminar-style format, where the instructor serves as facilitator. Outside class, students can subsequently work on Exercises based on those chapters and use them for the basis of discussions for the next class meeting, at which they serve as facilitators.
