                        »This is an important and influential book for three 
                        reasons. First, Nordic countries are important and 
                        currently upheld as a model for good corporate 
                        governance around the world. Second, the book is  
                        an exceptionally careful and thorough analysis of  
                        their governance arrangements. It combines an 
                        overview of the common features of Nordic countries’ 
                        governance with individual country details of their 
                        differences. Third, it provides real insights into the 
                        determinants of successful corporate governance. 
                        It points to three key components: diversity of 
                        ownership patterns including controlling shareholdings, 
                        independent boards, and strong protection of minority 
                        investor interests. The book deserves to be widely read 
                        and carefully studied by anyone interested in the design 
                        of corporate governance systems.«
