OverviewThis thought-provoking book critically analyses the interaction of innovation, technology and corporate law. It highlights the impact of technology, including artificial intelligence and distributed ledger technology, on corporate governance and form, examining the extent to which technology may enhance or displace conventional theories and practices concerning corporate governance and regulation. Expert contributors from multiple jurisdictions identify themes and challenges that transcend national boundaries and confront the international community as a whole. Chapters investigate corporate form, governance democratisation resulting from the more prevalent use of technology, the introduction of new classes of stakeholders and novel fund-raising activities and the impact of technology on corporate governance and regulatory supervision. Offering theoretical, practical and policy perspectives on the integration of technology with corporate governance and regulation, it provides a key contribution to the broader debate concerning the impact of technology on modern life. This insightful book should stimulate incisive academic discourse and will be of value to students and scholars of corporate, business and technology law. It will also be of benefit to legal practitioners, regulators and policy-makers interested in technological innovation. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Andrew Godwin , Pey W.
