Corporate Governance and Human Resource Management

The book delves into the complexities of corporate governance regimes worldwide, shifting focus from overall growth to their specific impacts on firms. It examines how varying national governance structures influence worker rights and social protections, potentially affecting shareholder value maximization. The author critiques simplistic models that attribute firm dynamics solely to property rights, advocating for a nuanced understanding of institutional arrangements and their influence on human resource management, employment practices, and organizational performance, ultimately linking these factors to economic growth.
