Hard Lessons in Corporate Governance
Examines how and why modern corporate governance practices fail to deliver better economic, managerial, environmental, or social outcomes.
Hard Lessons in Corporate Governance
How should corporations be run? Who should get a say, and what results can we expect? Hard Lessons in Corporate Governance provides an accessible introduction to the various failed attempts at using corporate governance to improve society. It introduces the record of these failures and illuminates hard lessons spread across thousands of empirical studies. If we look at the outcomes generated by various corporate governance 'best'; practices, we find that none of the practices work. If we look at the theories and assumptions that support modern corporate governance, we find they are likely wrong. And if we look at the prospect of corporate governance to improve political, environmental, and social outcomes, we find ample evidence that governance will fail us here too. After documenting these failures, Bryce Tingle KC turns to the most important lesson: how to fix this important, but broken, system.

Corporate Purpose, CSR, and ESG
In recent years, the longstanding debate between shareholder-oriented and stakeholder-oriented models of corporate governance for large listed, or "public" corporations, has experienced a resurgence. Simultaneously, a wave of new regulations has reshaped the legal landscape, compelling businesses to integrate public objectives - such as environmental protection or the social interests of specific stakeholder groups - into their decision-making processes, which were traditionally driven solely by profitability considerations. Against this background, the book brings together economic, comparative, historical, and doctrinal perspectives of scholars from US and European legal academia. The ongo...
The Cambridge Handbook of Shareholder Engagement and Voting
All over the world, companies play an important role in the economy. Different types of stakeholders hold the reins in these companies. An important class are the shareholders that finance the activities of these companies. In return, stakeholders have a say on how these companies should be organized and structure their activities. This is primarily done through voting and engaging. These mechanisms of voting and engaging allow the shareholders to decide significant aspects of the company structure, from who governs it to how much directors are paid. However, how shareholders vote and engage and how far their rights stretch are organized differently in different countries. This pioneering book provides insights into what rights these shareholders have and how the shareholders of companies in nineteen different jurisdictions participate in corporate life through voting and engaging. Comparative and international in scope, it pays particular attention to how jurisdictions align and differ around the world.
Entreprises et responsabilité sociale. La gouvernance en question
La place et la responsabilité de l’entreprise dans la société font aujourd’hui l’objet de vives discussions. Longtemps cantonnée à sa définition restrictive de simple lieu de production de biens et de services, l’entreprise ne se résume plus à ce seul rôle économique. En effet, les turbulences économico-financières à l’échelle mondiale au milieu des années 2000 et l’émergence des problèmes de responsabilité sociétale sont venues renouveler la réflexion sur l’entreprise et sa gouvernance. En parallèle, le droit de l’entreprise évolue et fait notamment une plus grande place aux parties prenantes. Ainsi, le modèle de régulation de l’entreprise est en cours de changement et le droit devient norme. Au travers d’une démarche pluridisciplinaire et comparative, cet ouvrage atteste de cette rupture et entend participer activement aux débats visant à dessiner l’entreprise du futur.
