Book excerpt: The book provides readers with an overview of the unique features of German business and enterprise law and an in-depth analysis of the organs of governance of German public limited companies (general meeting, management board, supervisory board). In addition, approaches for reforms required at the international level are also suggested and discussed, including, among others, the unique interplay and dynamics of the German two-tier board model with the system of codetermination, referring to the arrangement of employees sitting on the supervisory boards of German public limited companies and private companies employing more than 500 employees; also covered are significant recent legal developments in Europe.The book highlights the core function of valuation and financial reporting at the international, European and German levels, with accounting as the documentary proof of good corporate governance. Corporate governance encompasses the free enterprise system, which is treated comprehensively in this book from a German perspective. This distinguishes the book from other books written in English in this subject area, not only because of the comprehensive way it covers German corporate law and corporate governance, but also because of the fact that it provides international and European perspectives on these important topics.The book is addressed to researchers, practitioners and basically anyone with an interest in the complex, but intriguing areas of corporate law and corporate governance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Politics - General and Theories of International Politics, grade: 1,3 (German Grading System), University of Washington, language: English, abstract: After scandals like Enron in the past years, companies have been pressured to establish Corporate Governance systems to control their management. The design of these systems is often determined on a national level, but varies substantially from country to country. This paper deals with the different systems of Corporate Governance in the United States and Germany and establishes a comparison. The focus is put on how the German system is different from that of the US. At the end, recent developments in the Corporate Governance landscape are discussed. To begin with, it is important to understand what Corporate Governance means. It is defined as “The system of rules, practices and processes by which a company is directed and controlled”. These rules, practices and processes are supposed to achieve values like integrity, transparency and fairness. Thereby, Corporate Governance can support a corporation to “fulfill its goals and objectives in a manner that adds to the value of the company and is also beneficial for all stakeholders in the long term”. Furthermore, it strengthens a company’s reputation and has shown to increase share prices by establishing trust. Potential investors, who might not be familiar with a corporation’s processes and controlling practices in detail, can rely on statutory monitoring systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate governance is an important issue on the research agenda of financial economists. Using a new and unique data set of German corporations this book examines three topics that are crucial to a better understanding of corporate governance: (a) the frequency, causes, and consequences of control transfers, (b) the determinants of acquisition and failure, and (c) the role of corporate governance and market discipline for productivity growth. This book points out methodological drawbacks of previous empirical studies and provides suggestions on how to avoid these problems in research practice.

Download or read book The Globalization of Corporate Governance written by Alan Dignam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of economic globalization, as product and capital markets have become increasingly integrated since WWII, has placed huge, and it is argued by some, irresistible pressures on the world's 'insider' stakeholder oriented corporate governance systems. Insider corporate governance systems in countries such as Germany, so the argument goes, should converge or be transformed by global product and capital market pressures to the 'superior' shareholder oriented 'outsider' corporate governance model prevalent in the UK and the US. What these pressures from globalization are, how they manifest themselves, whether they are likely to cause such a convergence/transformation and whether these pressures will continue, lie at the heart of the exploration in this volume. The Globalization of Corporate Governance provides a detailed analysis of the evolution of the key corporate governance systems in the UK, the US and Germany from the perspective of the development of economic globalization. As such it is a valuable resource for those interested in how economic and legal reforms interact to produce change within corporate governance systems.

Book excerpt: Business scandals have triggered a debate about the influence of financial markets on corporate governance. This challenging book by Nikolaus Wolfmeyer adresses the key questions: What does shareholder value mean for corporate governance? Does it become the new measure for business performance in Germany? The book illustrates how shareholder value has coined corporate governance in the U.S. since the early 20th century and introduces the reader to the most influential theories in the field, e.g. Principal Agency Theory and Property Rights Theory. On the basis of three major forces that shape corporate governance - capital markets, ownership structure, legal, political and regulatory system - the volume compares corporate governance in the U.S. and Germany. The author argues that a process of convergence is taking place. However, key factors like codetermination might prevent that corporations focus only on shareholder value maximization. The book will be required reading for students and researchers of corporate governance and macroeconomic evolution. It is also an intriguing reading for decision-makers and financial commentators.

Download or read book A History of Corporate Governance around the World written by Randall K. Morck and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many Americans, capitalism is a dynamic engine of prosperity that rewards the bold, the daring, and the hardworking. But to many outside the United States, capitalism seems like an initiative that serves only to concentrate power and wealth in the hands of a few hereditary oligarchies. As A History of Corporate Governance around the World shows, neither conception is wrong. In this volume, some of the brightest minds in the field of economics present new empirical research that suggests that each side of the debate has something to offer the other. Free enterprise and well-developed financial systems are proven to produce growth in those countries that have them. But research also suggests that in some other capitalist countries, arrangements truly do concentrate corporate ownership in the hands of a few wealthy families. A History of Corporate Governance around the World provides historical studies of the patterns of corporate governance in several countries-including the large industrial economies of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States; larger developing economies like China and India; and alternative models like those of the Netherlands and Sweden.
