Compliance and Conviction
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book provides a very thorough view of many activities taking place in the corporate environment. The authors are very seasoned and passionate about their work. The academic value is substantial. For those interested in peering inside the boardroom and gaining a perspective of an active leader in the corporate boardroom, I highly recommend that you read Compliance and Conviction: The Evolution of Enlightened Corporate Governance by Curtis J. Crawford, Ph.D. In his book, Dr. Crawford discusses why and who should care about corporate governance. He provides a historical perspective on the topic while focusing on succession planning, chief executive officer (CEO) supervision, executive compensation, and director independence. It is a fascinating book.
An academically oriented book.

Would be an excellent tome for students of business. Also would be applicable for folks who are more interested in the corporate governance from a policy side. It's focus is publicly held companies, so if you're looking for a practitioners guide on how to 'get things done' in a startup world, this book doesn't address any of that. That doesn't make it a bad book, it just has it's focus on public companies.
