| Boards provides a practical, realistic, thought-provoking and useful guide to life as a board member. It is split into three areas, Purpose, People and Process reflecting the three key areas of concern for any board. This is combined with the fourth section which sets out a series of real-life dilemmas for readers to practice on, making this book an ideal companion for anyone who is an aspirant, novice or seasoned board member. Drawing on Patricks extensive range of experience working with and on boards in many sectors, in the UK and internationally, it is equally applicable to business, charities and social enterprises, professional services firms, public bodies and universities. The book is also written in a highly accessible and engaging style that brings life and fun to what is a very serious topic. Whats new in the second edition? Firstly, I have gone through every page and updated it, where appropriate, for what might have changed as a result of all of the above. Theres also some new content in a number of areas including Culture, Stakeholder management, Board reviews, smaller listed companies as well as the use of technology. |

| Title: Corporate Governance in China |
| Sub-title: Seen Through a Practitioner's Lens |
| By (author): Lyndsey Zhang |
| ISBN10-13: 1916256937 : 9781916256934 |
| China is now the worlds second largest economy, and continues to grow at a remarkable pace. This pace of growth together with the progressive opening up of Chinas financial markets have made it increasingly attractive to foreign investors and business leaders. In addition the growth of Chinese-based multi-nationals has presented other opportunities for working and investing. But there have been concerns voiced about the role of the State. China has more State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) than any other country, over 150,000. There have also been concerns raised about the standards of corporate governance (CG) currently operating. And the differences in culture that can mean that investing and doing business in China can feel like navigating in the dark. |

"Fascinating book that gets to the heart of how organizations are governed in China and how they differ from elsewhere.” -- Patrick Dunne, Chair of EY Foundation, Chair of ESSA

“Zhang is a true expert on both Chinese culture and business. In this book she tackles Chinese corporate governance practices through thoughtful analysis supported by several case studies. Any investor or executive who invest in or compete against Chinese companies should read this book.” -- Jack McCullough, President of CFO Leadership Council
|

“Lyndsey Zhang offers her unique experience of being a Chinese American with a corporate career in both countries, to help the reader better understand China's rapidly changing (corporate) culture, regulatory developments, and business practices. Having done quite some business in China myself, I wished I could have benefitted from Lyndsey's invaluable -practical but academically substantiated - insights, when I needed them so badly. For anybody who is interested in doing business in China, no matter at which level or in which role, this book is a Must Read." -- Rosa Zeegers, Partner at Newport LLC
