{"product_id":"corporate-governance-and-responsible-investment-simon-witney-9781108485883","title":"Corporate Governance and Responsible Investment in Private Equity","description":"Private equity-backed companies are ubiquitous and economically significant. Consequently, the corporate governance of these companies matters to all of us, and - not surprisingly - is coming under increasing scrutiny. Simon Witney, a practicing private equity lawyer, positions private equity portfolio companies within existing academic theory and examines the laws that apply to them in the UK. He analyses the actual governance frameworks that are put in place and identifies problems created by the legal rules - as well as the market's solutions to them. This book not only explains why these governance mechanisms are established, but also what they are expected to achieve. Witney suggests that private equity owners have both the incentives and the capability to focus on responsible investment practices. Good governance, he argues, is a critical success factor for the private equity industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Witney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 110848588X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108485883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Simon Witney","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43942959120639,"sku":"9781108485883","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0a8d85d3-4e97-48a3-8377-5435b058d9e4.jpg?v=1681495393","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/corporate-governance-and-responsible-investment-simon-witney-9781108485883","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
