Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the effect of corporate governance on firm performance and information leakage in the Chinese securities market. As one of the major emerging markets in the world, the results of this thesis are valuable not only to the Chinese market, but also to other emerging markets. To achieve this purpose, data is collected from most of the non-financial listed companies in the two Chinese stock exchanges, which are the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock exchange. The data sample covers the period from 2004 to 2008, since there was a series of new reforms in the Chinese stock market at that time. These reforms include new legislation and the reduction of non-tradable shares. Then this thesis employs the panel technique and the pooled OLS to estimate the effect of corporate governance on firm performance and information leakage in Chinese listed companies. Firstly the relationship between corporate governance and firm performance in Chinese companies is empirically evaluated. The empirical results of this thesis find that the ownership structure of Chinese companies will affect their firm performance. In this thesis, proxies of ownership structure include the proportion of institutional ownership, the proportion of the state ownership, the proportion of shareholdings of the largest shareholder, and the proportion of tradable shares in Chinese companies. A greater proportion of institutional ownership has positive effects on firm performance in Chinese companies. Board subcommittees also help Chinese companies to increase firm performance. The market reforms of 2006 also help Chinese companies to increase their firm performance. However, the board of directors and board of supervisors do not affect firm performance in Chinese companies. Secondly, information leakage in the Chinese Stock Market is empirically assessed. If investors receive corporate material information before the public disclosure, this phenomenon is known as information leakage. The thesis finds that information leakage in the Chinese market is widespread. Finally, the thesis empirically examines the effects of corporate governance on information leakage in Chinese companies. Board subcommittees have negative effects on information leakage in Chinese companies. Other variables of corporate governance do not affect information leakage in Chinese companies. Additionally, the thesis finds that market reform promotes more information leakage in Chinese market. On the basis of the empirical results, the thesis provides the following recommendations. First, the Chinese Stock Market needs to reform the relevant legislation. Second, Chinese companies need to reform their ownership structure. These suggestions may strengthen the internal governance of Chinese listed companies, thereby, increasing firm performance and decrease information leakage.

Book excerpt: Following a series of corporate scandals, legislators have company executives in their sights, and are arming themselves with ever-greater regulatory firepower. All agree that good governance is essential - but must not be allowed to stifle business performance. Beyond Governance develops the concept of Enterprise Governance, an emerging framework which unites Performance, Conformance and Corporate Responsibility and shows how addressing all of these areas in a concerted, coordinated fashion will deliver value to the organisation and its stakeholders. In particular, it focuses on the skills, processes and systems that are required to deliver excellence in each of these areas, giving readers a practical insight into the issues and an understanding of best practice in each area. Many firms are rethinking their finance activities in the light of e-commerce, shared service centres, business intelligence technology and cost pressures. Beyond Governance explores the challenge of building a modern, flexible finance function, describing the emerging role of the new CFO and how finance professionals should respond to this new business environment.
Download or read book Corporate Governance Mechanisms and Firm Performance written by Shveta Singh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-12 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book begins by analysing the various corporate governance mechanisms explored in the extant literature and determining their effectiveness in enhancing the firm value using multivariate analysis. The findings are of global relevance as the corporate governance regulations of most countries focus on independent directors as the mainstay of good governance. The empirical evidence from the first objective of this study corroborates the claim that independent directors do not strengthen the firms’ governance quality. The book is one of the few works to have analysed the possible reasons behind the ineffectiveness of the independent directors. Also, in view of the famous concept of the bundle of governance mechanisms, it might be possible that the independent directors strengthen the firms’ governance quality indirectly by strengthening other governance mechanisms. This aspect too has little precedence. This study adopts a novel moderation and mediation approach to analyse the monitoring behaviour of independent directors in relation to other governance mechanisms. The work is a must read for corporate players as well as researchers and scholars studying this discipline.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolving governance practices have resulted in boards of directors being made more responsible for creating strategy instead of simply approving strategy. As information technology (IT) becomes more important to the operations of business, IT also becomes more crucial to business strategy. With the shift of responsibility for strategy creation from the executive level to the board level, a number of researchers have recommended that responsibility for the governance of information technology should also shift to the board level. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has mandated many governance changes in the U.S., and along with additional reports and studies, has influenced governance changes in other jurisdictions. Many of these changes have required increased reliance on information technology, reinforcing the importance of IT to corporate governance. The purpose of this study is to determine if board-level IT focus, board-level IT literacy, governance structures, governance practices, and governance disclosures are associated with firm performance in Canadian companies. This study uses an agency theory approach and quantitative analyses of data from 2004 and earlier from companies that comprised the Toronto Stock Exchange S&P/TSX Composite Index at the end of 2004. Four research questions and 15 hypotheses are investigated. The findings indicate that board-level IT literacy and IT focus are significantly associated with firm performance. Gender diversity was found to be positively associated with performance, but in general, governance structures linked with board independence were found not to be associated with performance. Best practices in stock options and aligning directors' interests with those of the firm through shareholding requirements were found to be positively associated with performance. Only a weak link was found between disclosure practices and firm performance.

Download or read book The Economics of Corporate Governance and Mergers written by K. Gugler and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an insightful view of major issues in the economics of corporate governance (CG) and mergers. It presents a systematic update on the developments in the two fields during the last decade, as well as highlighting the neglected topics in CG research, such as the role of boards, CG and public interest and the relation of CG to mergers. Two important conclusions can be drawn from this book: the first is that corporate governance systems that better align shareholders and managers interests lead to better corporate performance; second, there is an important relationship between CG structures and the quality of firm decision-making, one of the most important being the decision to merge or take over another firm. Focusing on some of the often-neglected aspects of corporate governance such as non-profit organizations and public interest, as well as mergers and acquisitions from a CG perspective, this book will be a valuable resource for both academics and postgraduate students of finance, business and economics.
