Corporate Governance 4e: Principles, Policies, and Practices

by Bob Tricker

From the 'father of corporate governance' comes the new edition of this bestselling text, designed to equip students with a sound understanding of the frameworks that govern organizations. It offers comprehensive coverage of key principles combined with a strong practical focus through a clear three-part structure.

This fourth edition provides a new focus for understanding corporate governance that goes far beyond the regulations, rules, and voluntary codes: it has a new emphasis throughout on culture. For the first time, a distinction is drawn between Western and Eastern perceptions of corporate governance, and new cases from China (including Huawei) further support this new approach.

Prescribed text for an MBA subject. The content was new to me so I found the book largely helpful. The many case studies were mostly helpful and interesting. During assignment research time I found some of the foundational definitions a little shallow. For example, they would describe X as Y, when really there are 2-3 different popular opinions on how to define X. Overall it probably helped to keep it a more friendly read though.

The content of the book might be good and also without doubt of a high importance for all variety of stakeholder but preliminary to the future directors and chairman's. However, to find anything of value without constant repetition is not an easy task.
While reading for instance, chapter 4 you will come across multiple repetition and why the book will be focusing for the x' time on the business definition which is than carefully written one more time.
Same with the next chapters where the repetition of previous chapters is is being rolled like a snowball through the next chapters until you have a nice big snowball.
Constant repetition makes it a buzz and a pain to read, without the repetition the book could have been two third of what it is.
PS. just an angry student
The author should join the forces with George R. R. Martin and create a new saga on the corporate governance.

Corporate Governance: Principles, Policies and Practices provides readers with an understanding of the major aspects of corporate governance as well as the nature, functions and realities of boards of directors. The author, Robert Tricker is the man who coined the phrase “corporate governance” in the early 1980s, so his credentials as an expert on the topic are undeniable. The book is a must have for governance practitioners and students alike.
