The collection of papers in this book seeks to answer the question of how to understand and manage best practice approaches in corporate governance, which too often remain unarticulated. The book illustrates how praxis, i.e., translating theory into action, has shaped and reshaped the corporate sector in the Asian countries covered in the essays, making these countries the best they can be in specific corporate governance fields. The APO decided to publish this book to further the cause of corporate governance as a productivity instrument in its member countries. The basic premise is that generating best practice yardsticks by which corporate governance can be gauged helps promote good corporate governance principles and practices.  \nCorporate governance is not only a method firms use to discipline themselves while remaining profitable. It is also one of the principal ways they “make the society” in which they operate and which in turn “makes” them.
