“The book initially provides a theoretical Foundation in which the conceptual framework of Corporate Governance and philosophical issues are discussed. The book then goes on to provide a number of case studies identifying critical issues on a range of countries in Africa. … The book covers a significant gap in knowledge and understanding of corporate governance and ethics in Africa.” (Steve Letza, February, 2017)
