 “With the pace of change in the corporate governance regulatory landscape striving to help stabilise the world’s capital markets, this book is a welcome respite as a source of reliable information on practices in the Gulf Region. Another great edition from Professor Pierce further cementing his reputation as one of the leading global governance commentators of our generation.”

Kerrie Waring, Chief Operating Officer & Company Secretary, International Corporate Governance Network

“The first complete encyclopaedia of Corporate Governance in the Gulf. A factual, no nonsense, go to reference for anyone seeking transparency on Corporate Governance in the Middle East, and an absolute MUST for any Non-Executive Director sitting, or seeking to sit on Boards in the region.”

Jan Nigel Bladen, Chief Operating Officer, Dubai Financial Services Authority

"While there is no shortage of research on international corporate governance, there is limited published information available on the current corporate governance framework and practices in the GCC region. Professor Pierce's book positions itself as the reference benchmark to fill this gap. Every board director interested in corporate governance issues in the GCC region should have a copy of this book."

Nadeem Mujtaba, Managing Director, The Directors Counsel, Bahrain

“With all the corporate governance developments happening in the GCC within the past few years, this book is a useful reference for academics, investors, advisors, entrepreneurs, and others to stay on top of the changing dynamics in the region.”

Nick Nadal, Head, Hawkamah Institute for Corporate Governance / Mudara Institute of Directors

“Professor Pierce brings with him an extraordinary depth of knowledge and experiences of corporate governance systems around the world. His latest book provides a yet another definitive and comprehensive insight into the corporate governance, this time covering the Gulf region. It should be an essential reference for practitioners, board directors, investors, academics and others with an interest in this region and its emergence as an economic powerhouse in the global economy.”

Philip Armstrong, Head, Global Corporate Governance Forum

“Corporate Governance practice is not matured yet in GCC and Arab countries. What we need at this point in time, the benchmarks, the right way of managing this transition and how to implement best practices in Corporate Governance in this part of world. I am confident that Chris’s work in this area would definitely add value and develop know-how among the board members working both for private and publicly listed companies, I strongly recommend every board member to take a look at whats going on around the world in this very important aspect of running business”.

Sayed Belal Hyder, Director, Madinah Institute of Leadership & Entrepreneuship, Saudi Arabia

“Professor Pierce is a leading consultant on global corporate governance. His new book provides a unique insight into corporate governance practices in the Gulf.”

Bernard Taylor, Emeritus Professor of Strategic Management, Henley Business School, UK
