The book presents empirical insights on the relationship between corporate governance, environmental exposure and environmental sustainability performances of Indian non-financial companies.The book discusses and analyses the basic theories and concepts associated with corporate governance and environmental exposure like the concept of board size, board meetings, proportion of independent director, CEO duality, air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution; and corporate governance theories like the various forms of ownership, agency crisis and its kinds, dominance and expropriation of large shareholders and the possible way out to protect the interest of their minority counterpart etc. It also explores the theoretical postulations, concepts and conventions relating to the topic and critically goes through the literature to develop the hypotheses and to finally testify the set of hypotheses using a set of reliable and suitable econometric estimation techniques to draw meaningful inferences on Indian non-financial companies. The conceptual and theoretical aspects of the topic are presented in a lucid and intelligible manner which enhances the theoretical and practical understanding of the students and scholars in the domain of commerce and management studies.Offering robust empirical evidence, this book will be useful for corporate governance professionals, sustainability and CSR managers, environmental consultants, regulatory authorities, policymakers, academics, industry associations, and think tanks working on corporate governance, environmental sustainability, environmental studies, CSR, commerce, management, and banking.

A Totally Different Outlook on Power Electronic System Analysis Power Electronic Systems: Walsh Analysis with MATLAB®builds a case for Walsh analysis as a powerful tool in the study of power electronic systems. It considers the application of Walsh functions in analyzing power electronic systems, and the advantages offered by Walsh domain analysis of power electronic systems. Solves Power Electronic Systems in an Unconventional WayThis book successfully integrates power electronics as well as systems and control. Incorporating a complete orthonormal function set very much unlike the sine–cosine functions, it introduces a blending between piecewise constant orthogonal functions and power electronic systems. It explores the background and evolution of power electronics, and discusses Walsh and related orthogonal basis functions. It develops the mathematical foundation of Walsh analysis, and first- and second-order system analyses by Walsh technique. It also describes the Walsh domain operational method and how it is applied to linear system analysis. Introduces Theories Step by StepWhile presenting the underlying principles of Walsh analysis, the authors incorporate many illustrative examples, and include a basic introduction to linear algebra and MATLAB® programs. They also examine different orthogonal piecewise constant basis functions like Haar, Walsh, slant, block pulse functions, and other related orthogonal functions along with their time scale evolution.• Analyzes pulse–fed single input single output (SISO) first- and second-order systems• Considers stepwise and continuously pulse width modulated chopper systems• Describes a detailed analysis of controlled rectifier circuits• Addresses inverter circuits Power Electronic Systems: Walsh Analysis with MATLAB®is written for postgraduate students, researchers, and academicians in the area of power electronics as well as systems and control.
