Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Recent scandals involving large firms, in the US and elsewhere, have brought the role and conduct of the firm to the forefront of public attention.
The corporation has often been seen as a body directed by its shareholders, or stakeholders, whose behaviour is to be influenced by the provision of incentives and regulation. To support this view, Agency Theory has sought to explain how different agents in a firm, with different objectives, produce particular actions. The contributors in this volume develop a new perspective, putting issues surrounding the organization of the firm, such as motivation and cognition, at the heart of the question of corporate governance.
Long description:
Recent scandals involving large firms, in the US and elsewhere, have intensified discussion regarding the role and conduct of the corporation. The contributors to this book argue that much of this debate has taken too narrow a view of the issue of corporate governance, and question some of the key assumptions of economic models.
Drawing on insights from a variety of fields, including management studies, organization studies, economics and finance, political science, sociology, psychology, and legal studies, the contributors argue that these models fail to take account of the varied and complex behaviour of actors within the corporation. Instead the organizational, cognitive, and motivational foundations of governance problems and possible solutions are re-worked to produce a broader conception of governance.
The book contains chapters from leading international management scholars, including: Masahiko Aoki, Margaret Blair, John Child, Alvaro Cuervo-Cazurra, Bruno Frey, Anna Grandori, Joseph Lampel, Ryon Lancaster, William Lazonick, Siegwart Lindenberg, Patrick Moreton, Margit Osterloh, Michael Piore, Andrea Prencipe, Suzana Rodrigues, Mark Roe, Giuseppe Soda, Steen Thomsen, Brian Uzzi, Paul Windolf, and Todd Zenger.
Corporate Governance and Firm Organization provides an important contribution to the corporate governance debate, and will be essential reading for academics and graduate students of corporate governance, business and management, economics, finance, sociology, and law; Consultants, professionals, and policy-makers working in the area of corporate governance.
An interesting and provocative approach to the study of corporate governance. Those management scholars or newly minted doctoral students who have adopted traditional strategic approaches to corporate governance will want to read this book so that they do not miss the opportunity tto grow in knowledge and understanding in this emerging area.
