Corporate Governance and the Timeliness of Change
Editorial Reviews
Review
“In this well-written volume, Sherman(Ohio Univ.) and Chaganti (Temple Univ.) examine the changing corporate governance system during the 1980's and early 1990's by studying corporate restructuring in 100 American firms. They successfully explain why some corporations were able to iniate restructuring quickly while others took years to respond. Business students and praticing managers have much to learn from this study because restructuring is a complex process and the current literature that deals with major corporate change is not covered in most textbooks. Upper division undergraduate through professional.”–
Book Description
The ability to implement change quickly is crucial to an organizations's success--not only in traditionally sedate industries, but also in today's fast-moving hi-tech ones. Sherman and Chaganti, from their study of 100 American corporations, half in stable industries, half in volatile ones, find that a firm's structure of governance bears heavily on the speed with which the firm can "reorient" itself. What are the characteristics of firms that change quickly? What inhibits others? And what is the impact of a firm's stockholders, board and top management on its ability to adapt? Sherman and Chaganti provide answers to these and other questions, in the first book yet to focus entirely on the determinants of time in corporate reorientations.
