Reviews
'Till Talaulicar has put together an important volume for the study of corporate governance in the modern age. As a variety of stakeholder interests become increasingly recognized in business, scholars and corporate leaders need insight on how to manage competing claims and minimize trade-offs, while also prioritizing ethics and positive values. This book provides that insight, collecting new ideas from established and rising leaders in the field. This Research Handbook is a must have for any serious scholar of corporate governance.' -- Jonathan Bundy, Dean's Council Distinguished Scholar, Arizona State University, US
'Till Talaulicar's Research Handbook on Corporate Governance and Ethics makes a unique and hugely needed contribution to the most pressing questions facing corporations in a time of increasingly interdependent, complex and urgent contextual challenges. That is, although firmly informed by theoretical perspectives, specific examples and research insights, the Research Handbook goes beyond the usual questions of "whether" organizations can or should engage themselves in the wider concerns facing the societies in which they are embedded, and instead focuses upon "how" this has and/or can be achieved. Rather than an attempt to justify or inspire such engagement, this diverse set of scholars explain the variety of approaches - theoretical, philosophical, structural, managerial - that have driven and/or can drive such efforts, and significantly, they explore the organization's internal need for, as well as external impacts of, such efforts. Rather than polemical, this collection is both intellectually challenging as well as practical - a heady combination.' -- Mary C. Gentile, Richard M. Waitzer Bicentennial Professor Emeritus of Ethics, University of Virginia - Darden School of Business, US; Creator and Director of Giving Voice to Values
'This is a much-needed book with insights from some of the world's leading scholars in governance and ethics. I believe it will be required reading in many doctoral programs, and a ready resource for scholars in the area. Corporate executives will also find it useful as they confront the difficulties associated with governing ethically in a turbulent world.' -- Jeffrey S. Harrison, W. David Robbins Chair in Strategic Management, University of Richmond, US
'The values and norms promoted by global capitalism need to be carefully scrutinized; and perhaps even replaced, by institutions and practices that do a better job at protecting the global commons that is both efficient and equitable. This Research Handbook will be helpful in the transition towards that end.' -- William Q. Judge, E.V. Williams Chair of Strategic Leadership, Emeritus, Old Dominion University, US; Founding President of the International Corporate Governance Society (ICGS)
'Finally: A thorough and comprehensive exploration of the implicit value assumptions of corporate governance! It takes the corporate governance debate out of its technocratic and financial fixation and makes its ethical foundations explicit. With contributions by leading experts in the field, this timely book addresses the obvious interrelations between hitherto siloed-off areas of management research.' -- Dirk Matten, Hewlett-Packard Chair in Corporate Social Responsibility, York University, Canada
'I very much welcome this brilliant Research Handbook giving a comprehensive overview of ethical challenges in corporate governance. Ethics, responsibility, and sustainability are key elements of good governance. Top experts of corporate governance provide us with important insights on social and environmental performance. Reading this book will improve board decisions for a better world.' -- Jacob Dahl Rendtorff, Roskilde University, Denmark; President of the European Business Ethics Network (EBEN)
'Governing boards have become far more central to how firms operate, and Till Talaulicar has masterfully spotlighted how corporate governance shapes not only financial performance but also stakeholder lives. Forty leading researchers turn their exacting eyes on ethics, fairness, inequality, risk, sustainability, and beyond - and their insights are compelling.' -- Michael Useem, Faculty Director of the McNulty Leadership Program, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, US, and co-author of Boards That Lead
