Role of corporate governance practices and its impact on profitability. Connection between corporate governance practices and profitability in organizations: focus on the Kenyan Banking System

      Аннотация: This book gives a profound guide into establishing Corporate Governance Practices and how this affects profitability of commercial banks in Kenya. It further provides an insight into understanding the degree to which banks that report on their Corporate Governance have complied with different sections of the codes of best practice and where they are experiencing difficulties. It gives understanding to the government and the policy makers especially in areas of human resource and planning on the need to streamline the Corporate Governance implementation requirements so as not to shift the focus of the management on achieving the intended Corporate Governance targets, while neglecting their main objective of steering the society towards prosperity. Corporate Governance is meant to help organizations achieve their objectives by practicing good governance. To the academicians, the book contributes to the existing body of knowledge of Corporate Governance in Kenya. It also serves as a database and stimulates prospective researchers to replicate the study in other sectors of the economy. Corporate governance practices must be adopted in all organizations for their survival and growth.
