"The book develops a rigorous and innovative framework for corporate governance optimisation, integrating applied game theory modelling, mathematical optimisation, computer-based applications, risk management, hedge accounting and financial management. It demonstrates how mathematical modelling and optimisation can be applied to governance structures, agency problems, stakeholder interactions, financial decision-making and organisational performance. A particularly distinctive contribution is the integration of theory, mathematical modelling, joint optimisation algorithms, computational implementation and real-world applications within a unified corporate governance framework. The book thereby advances an important research direction: “Applied Game Theory in Corporate Governance: Framework, Modelling and Applications.” This interdisciplinary approach bridges corporate governance, game theory, accounting, financial management and risk management. This outstanding scholarly work can be regarded as one of the top few most significant books on corporate governance and real-world applied game theory modelling. Highly original, mathematically rigorous and practically relevant, it provides an important foundation for further research, teaching and professional applications. Its publication represents a significant scholarly achievement and contributes to the international research profile and academic reputation of Victoria University." - Kashif Rashid, Victoria University, Australia
