Reviews

This innovative book draws together authors from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to examine the role of boards of directors. An important contribution which it makes is to focus on the board's role and effectiveness in developing and emerging markets. The editors stress the salience of context through their adoption of a New Institutional Economics framework emphasising the importance of culture influencing institutions and their effectiveness. Contributions to the volume cover theoretical approaches as well as examining the practical and policy problems which arise in developing and emerging markets, The book is an essential contribution to our understanding of the role of directors in developing and emerging markets. -Professor Frank H. Stephen, University of Manchester, U.K.
