Corporate Governance: Principles, Policies and Practices

Good

I completely regret buying this book.The author does not use references at all, meaning his writing might as well be based-off opinion and hearsay. Tricker often uses phrases like 'majority of' or 'particularly' but never provides sources to back up his statements. He jumps between various jurisdictions, but doesn't provide any detail on any of them.What's worse is that, for what is essentially a legal textbook, the reference to substantive law and specific Codes of practice is nil. For example, Tricker writes:"Many articles of association put upper and lower limits on board size. Some company law jurisdictions also have rules on board size, particularly the minimum number of directors; some prohibiting single director boards."Now, you would expect a footnote detailing the model articles and relevant sections of the Companies Act 2006 (this is after all a legal textbook for English students). But there is nothing. Does Tricker assume that we know the law already? If so, why bother telling it to us again?Essentially, this has no more credibility than a novel. Law students are encouraged in all their work to cite sources and give legal authority. This does the exact opposite.As such, I would strongly recommend that you do not buy this book and look for something a bit more academic. Either way, you'll need a second book to find the actual law.

Bob Tricker's book is a good companion to that of Jo Solomon. Good value for money and recommended for anyone involved in Corporate Governance and Risk Management..

Very good book! All relevant themes from Corporate Governance are present and detailed. From the principal agent problem, to the relationships with stakeholders as well as the models for organizational structure.

Book is comprehensive coverage of the current governance issues. The writing style makes it easy for the student to digest the information and absorb the facts.

Not a great book for a law student studying UK corporate governance. Not enough reference to UK law at all.
