This critical work explores the central dynamic of industrial capitalism – the cycle of brilliant innovation, catastrophic crisis, and the painful process of corporate governance reform.

Coverage includes cycles of crisis and regulation, financial bubbles, including the global financial crisis, and digital disruption. Finally, the current crisis of industry induced climate change that now imperils the world is considered.

Corporate Governance: Cycles of Innovation, Crisis and Reform is essential reading for final year undergraduate and postgraduate students of Corporate Governance, International Business and Business and Management Studies.

Thomas Clarke is Emeritus Professor of Management at the University of Technology, Sydney. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA) and an international corporate governance expert.
