Contemporary Challenges in Corporate Governance. This is a single-user .PDF file which is e-mailed. There is no doubt that the emergence in the last 15-20 years of corporate governance as a focus for academic and managerial concern has been significant: the collapses of such large companies as Enron and the scandals to hit others such as WorldCom, sent shudders through investor markets, Governments and boards of Directors alike. Theoretical and applied outputs have examined the reasons for such failures, offered models for "good" corporate governance and reported on skills, intentions and activities good and bad, of those involved in governance. Notorious though these failures might be in terms of their exposure of failures in governance and control they are merely manifestations of failure in particular aspects of governance within particular structures in particular contexts: most often the large Anglo-American publicly owned company or corporation. However, governance as a term, concept and construct is much broader: with its definition as "a set of relationships between a company's management, its Board, its shareholders and other stakeholders...also providing the structure through which the objectives of the company are set and the means of attaining those objectives and monitoring performance are determined" (OECD 2004, p.11), principles of governance have a general significance in a wide range of cultural and management contexts. That governance can be described as "good" when and if the policies and procedures of governance implemented and observed increase value: debate continues around what how such value can be measured and to whom it should first and foremost accrue. Hence this collection of case studies. The title to this book is carefully chosen to reflect our intention in providing them: to offer an opportunity for readers to understand and appreciate the breadth and complexity of contexts in which issues of governance arise and to explore strategies for addressing those issues.

CSS: The Missing Manual

Web site design has grown up. Unlike the old days, when designers cobbled together chunky HTML, bandwidth-hogging graphics, and a prayer to make their sites look good, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) now lets your inner designer come out and play. But CSS isn't just a tool to pretty up your site; it's a reliable method for handling all kinds of presentation--from fonts and colors to page layout. CSS: The Missing Manual clearly explains this powerful design language and how you can use it to build sparklingly new Web sites or refurbish old sites that are ready for an upgrade.

Like their counterparts in print page-layout programs, style sheets allow designers to apply typographic styles, graphic enhancements, and precise layout instructions to elements on a Web page. Unfortunately, due to CSS's complexity and the many challenges of building pages that work in all Web browsers, most Web authors treat CSS as a kind of window-dressing to spruce up the appearance of their sites. Integrating CSS with a site's underlying HTML is hard work, and often frustratingly complicated. As a result many of the most powerful features of CSS are left untapped. With this book, beginners and Web-building veterans alike can learn how to navigate the ins-and-outs of CSS and take complete control over their Web pages' appearance.

Author David McFarland (the bestselling author of O'Reilly's Dreamweaver: The Missing Manual) combines crystal-clear explanations, real-world examples, a dash of humor, and dozens of step-by-step tutorials to show you ways to design sites with CSS that work consistently across browsers. You'll learn how to:

* Create HTML that's simpler, uses less code, is search-engine friendly, and works well with CSS

* Style text by changing fonts, colors, font sizes, and adding borders

* Turn simple HTML links into complex and attractive navigation bars-complete with CSS-only rollover effects that add interactivity to your Web pages

* Style images to create effective photo galleries and special effects like CSS-based drop shadows

* Make HTML forms look great without a lot of messy HTML

* Overcome the most hair-pulling browser bugs so your Web pages work consistently from browser to browser

* Create complex layouts using CSS, including multi-column designs that don't require using old techniques like HTML tables

* Style Web pages for printing

Unlike competing books, this Missing Manual doesn't assume that everyone in the world only surfs the Web with Microsoft's Internet Explorer; our book provides support for all major Web browsers and is one of the first books to thoroughly document the newly expanded CSS support in IE7, currently in beta release.
