Biography
Alice Klettner is a Research Fellow in the Business School of the University of Technology Sydney, Australia and is a qualified lawyer.
'I would recommend this book very strongly to people serving on boards, academics and postgraduate students interested in corporate governance and corporate law. This unique book is one of the first studies in Australia comparing empirical research and examples with theories on board composition, evaluation and diversity. The book has a very solid scholarly underpinning, but it also provides valuable insights into important issues for all boards.' – Jean J. du Plessis, Professor at Deakin Law School, Deakin University, Australia
'Klettner shows the importance of understanding corporate governance dynamics. Through this book she presents many aspects behind the history and development of corporate governance codes in a thought-provoking and informative way, and provides important management theory-based guidelines for corporate governance development and practices.' – Morten Huse, Professor in the Department of Communication and Culture, BI Norwegian Business School, Norway
