Description
Summary:Corporate governance has received an increasing amount of attention in recent years. Corporate scandals have brought corporate governance weaknesses to the attention of the general public, especially in the United States. Weaknesses in the corporate structure of some Indian companies have been partly blamed for some recessions that have occurred there.
