Challenges in implementing corporate governance: whose business is it anyway?

The purpose of this book is to help directors as members of boards of public listed companies focus on what really matters. It is targeted at independent non-executive directors in Asia-Pacific who are having difficulty translating what the codes of Corporate Governance demand of them into behavior that delivers long-term value to their stakeholders, not just shareholders. It may also be of relevance to senior management of multinationals who are working in Asia-Pacific. The book is based on a series of fortnightly 800-word articles the author has been asked to write for the business section of the Star newspaper inMalaysia. These articles have been expanded to discuss and explore further key business issues of the day from an Asian perspective using Asian examples and case studies, wherever possible, or else well-known Western examples so thatthe readers can make the connections easily between the examples and their personal circumstances. The book consists of nine chapters which are designed tobe easy to read and thought provoking at the same time. Each chapter ends with a set of simple takeaways for those who do not have the time to read the main body of the text.John Zinkin (BA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics, Magdalen College, Oxford and MSc. in Business Administration, London Business School) is the Chief Executive Officer of the Securities Industry Development Corporation (formerly the Securities Industries Development Centre - the training arm of the Securities Commission Malaysia), and Managing Director of Zinkin Ettinger Sdn Bhd, a boutique consultancy specializing in Change Management, Corporate Positioning,Change Communication, Brand development and Marketing.
