Practical Guide to Corporate Governance: Experiences from the Latin American Companies Circle
This Practical Guide to Corporate Governance: Experiences from the Latin American Companies Circle sets out both the benefits of good governance and the different paths that these companies have taken in the Latin American context. It provides step-by-step guidance on different aspects of implementing governance improvements, as well as empirical data on how those who have adopted such practices have benefited. With evidence presented here that the benefits of good governance accrue not only in times of economic growth, but also during the most recent economic downturn, this book could not be more timely. At a time of increasing competition for financing and investor attention, this guide will serve as a useful reminder that governance is of vital importance for sustainable growth and the creation of value for all stakeholders. See press release.
