Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensethik, Wirtschaftsethik, Note: 1,0, Fachhochschule Hof, Veranstaltung: Unternehmensbewertung, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: „Die Akte Siemens – Innenansicht eines korrupten Konzerns“. So titelte „Der Spiegel“ in seiner Ausgabe vom 14. April 2008 und setzte sich damit mit den jüngsten Anschuldigungen gegen die Siemens AG auseinander. Diese Form von Missmanagement und Unternehmensschieflage, wie sie in dem Artikel beschrieben wird, ist jedoch weder ein Einzelfall noch eine Entwicklung der letzten Monate. So sind die Qualität der Unternehmensführung und deren wirksame Überwachung bereits seit einigen Jahren in der Diskussion. Besonders in den USA und in Europa entbrannte die Debatte auf Grund zahlreicher öffentlichkeitswirksamer Fälle von Unternehmenszusammenbrüchen wie beispielsweise die von Flowtex, Holzmann, Enron oder Worldcom und erlangte somit einen bislang noch nicht dagewesenen Stellenwert. Neben den beschriebenen Fällen von Missmanagement tragen aber auch die Globalisierung der Wirtschaft und die Liberalisierung der Kapitalmärkte, und der dadurch verbundene Zugang zu einem größeren Kreis von Kapitalgebern, zu der Forderung nach transparenten und effizienten Formen der Unternehmensführung bei. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass die Kosten der Refinanzierung zunehmend an die Corporate Governance Struktur eines Unternehmens gekoppelt sind, da besonders Banken und institutionelle Investoren ein besonderes Augenmerk auf diese legen. Die Skandale sowie die Internationalisierung sorgten maßgeblich dafür, dass Corporate Governance nicht, ein der „Scientific Community“ vorbehaltenes, Spezialthema blieb, sondern vielmehr seit nunmehr über einem Jahrzehnt aus der Diskussion über gesellschaftsrechtliche und betriebswirtschaftliche Fragestellungen kaum mehr wegzudenken ist. Darüber hinaus zählt es zu einem der meistbesprochenen Managementthemen. Auf Grund der Brisanz des Themas werden im Rahmen dieser Arbeit die Grundlagen der Corporate Governance zusammengefasst und erläutert. Darüber hinaus soll ein Einblick in die deutsche Entwicklung gewährt und auf die Fragestellung, welche Auswirkung eine gute Corporate Governance auf den Wert eines Unternehmens hat, eingegangen werden.

Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich BWL - Controlling, Note: 1,7, FOM Essen, Hochschule für Oekonomie & Management gemeinnützige GmbH, Hochschulleitung Essen früher Fachhochschule, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Corporate Governance beschreibt die Grundsätze einer guten Unternehmensführung als Ordnungsrahmen zur Leitung und Überwachung eines Unternehmens. Diese Begriffsdefinition bildet gemeinsam mit dem Begriff der Unternehmensverfassung, die Regeln und Strukturen eines Unternehmens beinhaltet, den strukturellen Rahmen der normativen Unternehmensführung. Auslöser der Diskussion um die Corporate Governance sind eine Reihe von Skandalen, bei denen ein Fehlverhalten der Unternehmensführung nicht verhindert oder zumindest nicht rechtzeitig entdeckt wurde. Ein besonders drastischer Fall war das US-amerikanische Energieunternehmen Enron. Es musste Insolvenz anmelden, nachdem dessen Bilanzen über Jahre hinweg massiv gefälscht wurden. Zahlreiche solche Fälle gab es auch in Deutschland. Beispiel hierfür ist die Insolvenz der Philip Holzmann AG. Als Reaktion auf die Zunahme solcher Fälle wurde in Deutschland im Jahr 1998 das Gesetz zur Kontrolle und Transparenz im Unternehmensbereich eingeführt. Im Jahr 2002 wurden im Deutschen Corporate Governance Kodex die geltenden Gesetze und Standards verantwortungsvoller Unternehmensführung zusammengefasst. Im gleichen Jahr trat das Transparenz- und Publizitätsgesetz in Kraft. Danach müssen börsennotierte Gesellschaften erklären, ob sie den Empfehlungen der Kodizes entsprechen. Eine Fülle weiterer Gesetze präzisiert zwischenzeitlich die Pflichten der Unternehmensführung in Deutschland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The business corporation is one of the greatest organizational inventions, but it creates risks both for shareholders and for third parties. To mitigate these risks, legislators, judges, and corporate lawyers have tried to learn from foreign experiences and adapt their regulatory regimes to them. In the last three decades, this approach has led to a stream of corporate and capital market law reforms unseen before. Corporate governance, the system by which companies are directed and controlled, is today a key topic for legislation, practice, and academia all over the world. Corporate scandals and financial crises have repeatedly highlighted the need to better understand the economic, social, political, and legal determinants of corporate governance in individual countries. Comparative Corporate Governance furthers this goal by bringing together current scholarship in law and economics with the expertise of local corporate governance specialists from twenty-three countries.

Download or read book Corporate Governance as a Limited Legal Concept written by Cornelis de Groot and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of corporate governance has come under intense public scrutiny in recent years. Business people everywhere are asking: What exactly does andgoodand corporate governance entail? Which aspects of it are legally binding, and in what ways is it merely a set of expectations on how corporations should be organized ideally? Nowhere are these important questions answered more precisely - nowhere are the lines more clearly drawn - than in the insightful synthesis of statutory law, case law, and organizational theory presented in this book. Recognizing that the concept of andgoodand corporate governance is not dramatically different from one jurisdiction to another but represents an international phenomenon that has to a reasonable extent the same characteristics everywhere, the author proceeds, with detailed analysis, through a series of issues that (he shows) make up the brunt of corporate governance. Each of these issues in turn gives rise to such specific problem areas as the following: board compensation and executive compensation; unitary and dual board structures; monitoring management; legal parameters of andmismanagementand; the andsupervisory gapand; audit, selection and appointment and remuneration committees; director tenure and retirement policy; risk management and risk reporting; corporate safety culture; conflicts of interest; whistleblower arrangements; aims of the regulation of public takeover bids; and defensive tactics in case of a hostile public takeover bid. These problems - and many others - are examined in the light of corporate governance codes and guidelines and of reports and judgments that deal with specific instances where investigators or courts were asked to analyze corporate governance issues in concrete cases. Each of the ten chapters includes in-depth analysis of such cases. A special feature of the book is a set of model corporate governance guidelines based on US corporate practice. Corporate Governance as a Limited Legal Concept is remarkable for its very thorough characterization and definition of corporate governance as a legal concept, as a code of conduct, and as an organizational structure. The authorands clearly reasoned analysis of the legal limits of corporate governance will be of great interest and practical value to business people and their counsel in any jurisdiction.

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 Nature of Corporate Governance written by Janet Dine and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a thoughtful inquiry into the nature and rationale of corporate governance. The authors address fundamental questions including; What is the balance between ownership and control?; For whose interests should the company be run?; What is the institutional balance between shareholders, directors and other potential stakeholders, including the economy? Professor Dine and Dr Koutsias consider how these issues are dealt with by the jurisprudence of three major and greatly influential jurisdictions; the USA, the UK, and Germany, and also reflect on why and how the current corporate governance context in some states is defined by social, political and historical developments. The authors argue that corporate governance is crucial for the identity of each country. What is revealed in the work is that when national corporate governance is thriving it allows space for democracy to flourish. Corporate governance scholars, policy makers, LLM and LLB students of company law and corporate governance, NGOs involving issues of inequality, poverty and democracy will find this important book an insightful resource.
