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:
This important and timely new book examines the manner and extent of involvement by institutions in monitoring the performance of the executive management of "companies". Such monitoring of managerial performance fits within a broad framework of devices and market forces which operate to reduce the divergence between the interests of managers and shareholders in non-controlled "companies". Institutional intervention to change the management of companies has been confined to the most extreme cases of under-performance, sometimes combined with strong suspicion of misconduct on the part of the impugned managements. Apart from examining the situations in which institutional intervention is likely to take place and how it can be effected, this book also looks in considerable detail at the advantages and disadvantages of greater involvement by institutions. The whole work benefits from detailed comparative analysis of the position in Australia and the UK.
MoreLong description:
This book examines the role of institutional shareholders in corporate governance, which is the system by which companies are directed and controlled. This is a subject of great concern to "public companies", their management, their shareholders and their employees. The recent concern about the effectiveness of corporate governance in a number of different countries has produced an outpouring of books and other publications including the Cadbury Committee Report which sought to address the principal problems arising in the UK. The unusual feature of this book is that it compares systems operating in Australia with those in the UK while at the same time also looking carefully at US, German and Japanese experience. The significance of the subject matter of this book lies in the fact that institutional investors collectively hold a very large proportion of the equity capital of the UK "corporate sector", and a sizeable proportion of the equity capital of the Australian equivalent. In addition domestic companies in turn occupy an extremely significant position in the UK economy and a significant one in the Australian economy. How these companies are managed is of very great significance to the economies of these countries.
'This book provides a rigorous view of the nature and extent of institutional shareholder monitoring and involvement in Australia and the UK...This is a serious work based on detailed, depth anlaysis and well rooted in the literature.'
