Beschreibung

This book is for anyone who wants to know what truly lies behind the scandals and disasters of global business which marred the first few years of the 21st century. It examines why companies fail, finding the reasons few, yet all too common. It also explores what the prudent investor, board member or manager should be alert to but often is not.

Zusammenfassung

This represents a major contribution to the very topical debate on corporate governance. It is the only book to compare a number of high-profile corporate failures, including Enron, WorldCom, Equitable Life and Parmalat, and develops lessons that can be learned from these cases

The authors are experts in this field and have written prize-winning case studies on Enron and Barings Bank

Due to the topicality of the subject we expect wide press coverage
