Many people view the directors of joint stock companies as bandits. Since a few are exactly that, everyone else is also tarred with the same brush. To keep an eye on how executive directors run things, a device called non-executive director has been invented. This rather useful reference book is meant for them.

The Introduction says it "aims" to provide serving and prospective non-executive directors with a reference book that explains how boards are structured and describes the scope, remit, and expectations of independent directors... and of the board as a whole. This edition covers 19 countries, including four new ones""India, China , Russia and Singapore. Each chapter also has a section called "Hot Topics in Governance".
