Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis analyses the adequacy of the corporate governance framework in the context of the legal relationship between the directors, shareholders and stakeholders and proffer suggestions for reform. The increasing economic power of corporations and the implications of the separation of ownership from control have thrown up a number of interrelated problems. These include the need to make the corporations fulfill the genuine expectations of shareholders and stakeholders. It was soon realized that corporate law and governance need to be better positioned in order to ensure a fair and sustainable balance between directors, shareholders and stakeholders interests. In Nigeria this is made worse by obsolete legislation, weak law enforcement mechanisms, lack of adherence to regulatory rules and weak monitoring systems. Primarily this research employed doctrinal legal research, which consist of analysis of rules,concepts and laws. The process involved primary and secondary information and knowledge gathering. The primary sources are relevant legislation and judicial decisions within and outside Nigeria. The secondary sources of information are journal articles, textbooks and learned papers. The research reveals the gaps in corporate law and governance in Nigeria in a number of areas which include: The corporate governance structure; the involvement and relationship between the directors, shareholders and stakeholders; the regulatory framework for corporate governance; the legal and practice regime for corporate governance. The study suggests that the regulatory framework in Nigeria needs to be improved upon in order to ensure that the interest of shareholders and stakeholders is protected. The study equally proffers the need for the legislature and the courts to do more to ensure that corporate law and governance in Nigeria are improved in line with global trends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the tasks and functions of corporate governance in the light of current challenges and the dynamics that arise from a broader approach to company management and the integration of corporate governance with corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability. Addressing the corporate governance shortcomings that are believed to have contributed to the recent financial crisis, it explores the interplay between corporate governance and CSR, and includes examples of company practice to show how such changes affect the practices of shareholders, boards of directors and regulators. In particular, the book examines shareholders’ activities, their different investment strategies, specific reporting expectations and the submission of proposals to the annual meeting. Further, for boards of directors it explores the need to revise their tasks with respect to the criteria for executive appointments, their corporate strategy, performance measures and diversity recommendations, while for directors it provides recommendations to reconsider the structure of executive pay and performance incentives. Lastly, for regulators the book investigates the need to introduce new laws addressing, for instance, the need for integrated reporting, limiting the voice of short term oriented shareholders and providing guidelines for executive compensation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensforschung, Operations Research, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Corporate governance refers to the system through which organization are directed and controlled. Following the experiences of failed companies in America and Europe in recent times and the resultant consequence on unemployment, wealth creation and shareholder value, corporate governance has taken a centre stage worldwide especially in emerging economies such as Nigeria that can ill-afford system failure. Typically, in public corporations directors are elected by shareholders to manage the affairs of the corporate on their behalf; which by implications imposes on the directors fiduciary responsibilities. A person with fiduciary duty is a person entrusted with the power or property with the understanding that the person is working for the benefit of the individual(s) who may have entrusted them with such responsibilities – therefore directors have fiduciary responsibilities to work in the best interest of shareholders and for the benefit of shareholders not in the interest of some other people or their individual interest. From all indications, the current global financial crises have revealed severe shortcoming in corporate governance across the global, there seems to be a common factor, an apparent lack of checks and balances needed by companies in order to cultivate sound business ethics bringing about the concern for improved corporate governance across all continents, this provides the needed motivation for this study. In Nigeria; for instance several public companies including local subsidiaries of western multinational companies have been criticized for various degrees of unethical practices. The case of Cadbury Nigeria PLC referred to as ‘Deliberate breaches of accounting system and controls’, are only a tip of the ice berg in Nigeria, a country that has for many years been sapped by widespread corruption. The choice of Cadbury Nigeria Plc for this study is because of their strategic importance as industrial giant in Nigeria that are presumed to be well established and respected for decades. It is expected that this study will contribute to knowledge on corporate governance as well as proffer some solution to the shortcomings and challenges of corporate governance issues with reference to Nigeria.

Download or read book Corporate Governance in Developing and Emerging Markets written by Franklin N. Ngwu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world, the Anglo-American model of corporate governance tends to prevail – but no two countries are identical. Governance outcomes in developing and emerging economies often deviate from what theory predicts, due to a wide range of factors. Using insights from New Institutional Economics, Corporate Governance in Developing and Emerging Markets aims to explain the different issues and cultural and legal factors at play, and put forward an alternative governance framework for these economies. Structured in three parts, this text investigates different models of corporate governance; it explores the realities of corporate governance in ten nations, including the ‘BRICS’ (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) and ‘MINT’ (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey) countries; and then considers corporate governance reform. This interdisciplinary text will be a valuable tool for students of corporate governance across Business, Economics and Law; and an equally useful resource for anyone working in or carrying out research in this area.

Book excerpt: Corporate governance principles, codes and regulations have developed over the past few years to cater for the challenging realities of a changing world. These advances come in the wake of revelations of weaknesses in organisational leadership and structures, and amid vocal calls for transparency. Corporate governance as a tool for sustainable development of businesses is now more relevant than ever. A recent trend has been to approach corporate governance principles from an 'outcomes based' perspective. This requires businesses to consider the benefits of good governance properly applied and fully achieved. Outcomes-Based Governance: A Modern Approach to Corporate Governance was written to demystify outcomes-based governance and emerging corporate governance trends. The book also aims to aid their adaptability in emerging economies. The authors, from South Africa and Nigeria, have decades of experience and knowledge to share.
