Summary

This edited volume, Institutional Approach to Global Corporate Governance: Business Systems and Beyond, contains original papers that examine various issues concerning the effects that national and international institutional factors have on corporate governance and performance. In this volume we stress the relevance of national business systems-broadly defined to include culture, law and politics, as well as industrial and institutional infrastructure - to assessing the efficacy of corporate governance regimes.
