Upcoming Book Announcement - Challenges and Opportunities in Italian Corporate Governance
In May 2018, Virtus Interpress initiated a new book project "Challenges and Opportunities in Italian Corporate Governance".
The main purpose of this book is to analyze the Italian corporate governance from a different perspective (accounting, management, finance, law), also making comparisons with the international context. Therefore, it is useful to show and identify best practices for the Italian firms in this new scenario and updating them, as to tackle the new challenges and to seize the opportunities raised by the evolution of capital markets and corporate practices. This book is a concise and authoritative guide to researchers and professionals and it wants to offer many ideas for discussion, focusing on some more general issues, related to the role that corporate governance can play for the purposes of company and society. It will include relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the area.
We are glad to announce that the book is currently on the stage of typesetting and will be published as a hardcover in August, 2019.
