Corporate governance is the hot topic of the new millennium. There has been a growing demand from executives, students, consultants, and researchers for books that systematically illuminate how multinational corporations (MNCs) should deal with global shareholders and other stakeholders. As firms globalise, their corporate governance issues and systems become much more complex. Corporate governance in MNCs is not just a larger version of corporate governance in regular companies; it is instead influenced by MNCsrsquo; unique strategies, structures, and environments. This volume in the Blackwell Global Dimensions series helps to translate these relationships and illuminate the related intricacies.
