So, how effective is corporate governance today? What are the lesson learned from the corporate turmoil of the past few years? How have the lesson been institutionalized? Have the changes gone too far or not far enough? Does improved governance result in better operational and financial performance? What is needed for investors to place their trust in corporate governance? In fact, what do we mean by "corporate governance" and what does it encompass?
These are among the questions that were examined in a series of weekly supplements to the Financial Times during May-June 2005 entitled "Mastering Corporate Governance".
