Challenges and Opportunities in Italian Corporate Governance

The book examines corporate governance issues from different perspectives (law, business management, accounting and practitioners), assessing the progress made by Italian companies in improving corporate governance and the gaps that remain. Moreover, it presents governance issues in the widely varying perspectives of owners, boards, management, and other stakeholders to-create a complete picture of the Italian corporate governance environment. We have decided to create four sections: l. Corporate governance and firm performance 2. New perspectives of corporate governance 3. The role of CSR and innovation in business strategy 4. Corporate governance in the banking sector Our aim as editors was to achieve a high quality of content so that "Challenges and Opportunities in Italian Corporate Governance" would be seen as an essential reference text in our fi.eld of research. We thank ali the contributors who helped with this project. We hope that this book will give the reader food for thought and we hope that the new project with Virtus Interpress will continue the dialogue among corporate governance specialists.
