The topics covered in this volume include the purpose of the corporation, the board of directors, the role of shareholders, and more contemporary developments like hedge fund activism, the role of sovereign wealth funds, and the development of corporate governance law in what perhaps will become the dominant world economy over the next century, China. The editor has written an introductory essay which briefly describes the intellectual history of the field and analyses the material selected for the volume. The papers which have been selected present what the editor believes to be some of the best and most representative studies of the subjects covered. As a result the volume offers a rounded view of the contemporary state of the some of the dominant issues in corporate governance.

Download or read book Board Directors Financial Derivatives and Corporate Governance The Case of Vietnam written by Tran Thi Hong Lien and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-09 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives readers a look inside the boardrooms and directors’ minds—a desirable but highly challenging task for researchers due to the lack of access to top teams in organizations. This book breaks through that barrier with a mixed-methods investigation of boardrooms in the emerging country of Vietnam particularly on the topic of financial derivatives. Directors are the leading players within the corporate governance framework. The general effectiveness of the board depends on their roles, processes and competencies. Given the scandals marring the history of the financial industry, this book aims to tackle the question of whether board directors have the financial acumen required to handle the tricky instruments of financial derivatives through interviews with board directors and analysis of their organizations. Providing a managerial perspective of financial derivatives, this distinguishes itself from more popular financial engineering books and would be a useful read for government officials, board directors, training organizations and scholars, particularly in Vietnam.

Download or read book Corporate Governance and Leadership written by Monique Cikaliuk and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-27 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Element deals with leadership and governance of corporations from the point of view of the board. We expand our understanding of board leadership by focusing on the modern company as a legal person comprised of a capital fund and the relationships among directors, shareholders, management and stakeholders. We propose a model which integrates insights from the fields of leadership and corporate governance and establishes a theoretical link illustrated by empirical findings in three intersections: team leadership on the board, the chair's leadership of the board, and strategic leadership by the board. We maintain this integrative model provides a powerful means to further an understanding of the board as the nexus of leadership and governance. We close this Element by identifying the new research directions that our integrative model opens up. We also identify the implications for practice for those who either serve on boards or provide support to them.

Download or read book Corporate Governance Theory written by Suleyman Gokhan Gunay and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the reason for the existence of a firm? Why can some firms generate competitive advantages based on social capital, and others cannot? What are the underlying reasons for the opportunistic behaviors that drive firms to bankruptcy as in the case of Lehman Brothers? These kinds of questions have a common answer: corporate governance. These kinds of questions are the starting point in my research about corporate governance phenomenon. In order to find the answers to these kinds of questions, I have read many articles and books related to corporate governance. The more I have read about this phenomenon the more I have realized that I have been dealing with a complex conundrum (i.e. corporate governance). In other words, I have realized that scholars approach corporate governance phenomenon from different perspectives. Thus, all of these scholars define different aspects of this conundrum. At that point, I have realized that I have to find the common points of these theories in order to constitute a coherent model on corporate governance theory. In order to find answers to these important questions, the book should be read very carefully from the beginning to the end in order to see the whole picture about corporate governance conundrum. The book is expected to shed some light about the reasons of company failures in the recent global financial crisis. Suleyman Gokhan Gunay, PhD

Download or read book The Evolution of Corporate Governance written by Bob Tricker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this Element the origins of corporate governance are reviewed, recognising that corporate entities have always been governed, that important developments took place in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and the huge significance of the invention of the joint-stock limited liability company. The development of corporate governance in the twentieth century around the world is explored, with complex groups, private companies, and top management dominating shareholder power appearing in the Inter-war years. Some unresolved issues in both principle and practice are identified. Various theories of corporate governance are described and contrasted. The subject is seen to be in search of its paradigm and a systems theoretical relationship between the theories is suggested. The need to rethink the concept of the limited liability company is argued, and a call is made for the development of a philosophy of corporate governance.

Download or read book Towards an XBRL enabled corporate governance reporting taxonomy written by Dirk Beerbaum and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2016-05-25 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate Governance failures of large corporations such as Lehman Brothers have evoked a plethora of calls for changes in Corporate Governance Principles. Despite the fact that after the financial crisis, a number of transnational institutions have called for wide-scale changes related to Corporate Governance Principles by further protecting share-holders’ rights, it has been proven that theoretical extension and reform of Corporate Governance Principles is not enough, because it does not ensure successful implementation. According to a report from Isaksson (2009), corporate disclosures were not in line with OECD principles on good Corporate Governance. Moreover, according to Isaksson (2009), the financial crisis can also be traced back to incomplete Corporate Governance disclosures. One major implementation topic involves Corporate Governance Reporting, which is very complex for multinational companies, as it involves statutory compliance with multiple rules and laws, coping with heterogeneous “Systems of Corporate Governance” (Weimer and Pape, 1999; Leuz et al., 2003; Tylecote and Visintin, 2007) and additionally the compilation of codes (Cadbury, 1993) and industry-specific standards (Mach et al., 2006; Bebchuk and Spamann, 2010). Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) is assumed as a benchmark related to interactive business disclosures (Chen and Sun, 2009; Debreceny et al., 2010; Alles and Piechocki, 2012). Does XBRL have the potential to help to reduce the complexity of companies’ Corporate Governance Reporting (Alles and Piechocki, 2012)? In the academic literature, there are many articles which conclude that it is possible for XBRL to enhance transparency and improve Corporate Governance for financial reporting (Abdullah et al., 2009; Roohani et al., 2010; Alles and Piechocki, 2012; Müller-Wickop et al., 2013): therefore, an additional question is whether the application of XBRL to the non-financial reporting of Corporate Governance can also contribute to enhanced transparency. Within the peer group of listed Foreign Private Issuers on the New York Stock Exchange there is no adequate Taxonomy available.

Download or read book Challenges in Implementing Corporate Governance written by John Zinkin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-11-08 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "John Zinkin's new book on Challenges in Implementing Corporate Governance is a welcome addition for board members and senior management on how to improve corporate governance in the post-crisis period. John correctly identifies that most boards on underperforming companies have three elements of failure: a lack of proper understanding of the business and its strategy; a total lack of appreciation of both the strategic and systemic risks created by new product markets; and a total failure by boards to ensure that the incentive structures for top management reflect long-term needs rather than short-term profits, thereby putting the company's future at risk. John has written a useful and practical handbook that is a must read for all board members on how to improve corporate governance." —Datuk Seri Panglima Andrew Sheng, Chief Adviser, China Banking Regulatory Commission and the Boards of the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority , Sime Darby Berhad and Khazanah Nasional "This timely book will interest those wanting to improve corporate governance and risk management. It should also appeal to anyone curious about what caused banks to fail in a number of markets in recent times, and the values which led to this failure. In considering principles which are essential to good governance, ACCA recognizes that corporate governance evolves and improves over time. We accept that organizations in different sectors and across the world operate in diverse environments in terms of culture, regulation, legislation and enforcement. What is appropriate, in terms of governance, for one type of organization will not be appropriate to all organizations. John Zinkin’s book seeks to address this challenge, analyzing the essential cultural and behavioral issues which sit at the heart of the challenges." —Paul Moxey, Head of Risk Management and Corporate Governance, Association of Chartered Certified Accountants "A scholarly combination of practical guidelines and strategic vision." —Lady Sylvia Jay CBE, Vice-Chairman, L'Oreal UK; Independent Director, Alcatel-Lucent, Compagnie de Saint Gobain, Lazard Limited and Carrefour "This is a highly topical and timely publication. Globally, the crisis that has gripped the financial services sector following the failure of well known global banks in recent years has focused attention on corporate governance. To restore confidence in the financial services sector is a long-term goal and effective corporate governance, together with the closely associated topic of risk management, has gripped not only governments and banks, but the public too. In this book, John Zinkin clearly asserts that financial institutions need to exert their responsibilities beyond their shareholders and far more into the wider group of stakeholders, including employees and wider society. In considering issues globally, John provides a book that is not only thought-provoking but pragmatic and useful at a time when stakeholders in our banks need to see real change in transparent, practical ways from those charged with governing our banks." —Ruth Martin, Managing Director, The Chartered Institute of Securities and Investment

Download or read book Strategic Management written by Silvio Bianchi Martini and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-07 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the intricate world of strategic management. Blending theory with practical examples, the authors provide a systematic framework for strategic decisionmaking. The book is divided into two parts. It begins by exploring the perspectives of strategic analysis, examining the firm’s “current situation” and “evolutionary” perspectives, as well as the “objective reality” and “subjective perspective”. These interconnected perspectives require different analytical approaches to understand the firm’s present state and the process of change. The second part, entitled “The strategic map: the areas, the pathway and the objects of analysis”, delves deeper into specific areas of strategic analysis. It focuses on the current state of the firm (today’s firm), emphasizing the importance of understanding its resources, products, markets, activities, and stakeholder relationships. The quality and implementation effectiveness of the strategic model are also assessed, providing a reflection tool for improvement. The book further explores strategic change processes, the values and identity of the firm, performance evaluation, and corporate governance and internal control system. Suitable for newcomers and professionals in corporate strategy and governance, this book combines theory and practical examples to enhance understanding.
