The contemporary issue of the Anglo-American corporate vale model is short-termism. That is, the model operates in the interest of shareholders overlooking or at a cost of non-shareholder stakeholders’ interests including society and environment. The eye opening evidence is the 2008-09 global financial crisis. In these circumstances, this book examines how three Anglo-American corporate governance jurisdictions, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and India have recently modified their corporate value models for creating long-term sustainable value. The examination continues with the Anglo American corporate value models of two emerging countries also. Finally, the Continental European corporate (German) model is also analyzed.  The comparative analysis is useful for revisiting not only the Anglo-Saxon Models in common law countries but also Continental European Models in civil law countries. This book is appropriate for scholars, academics, students, and policy makers who are interested in corporate governance models around the world.
