Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the impact of cumulative voting on the performance of listed corporations in China. We focus on three main issues: investigating effects of corporations' ownership structure on cumulative voting adoption, exploring differences (if any) in personal attributes between the board members elected by cumulative voting and those elected by straight voting, and identifying the influence of cumulative voting members on corporate governance and firm performance. Controlling firm characteristics, we find that corporations with controlling shareholder who owns a larger proportion (even under the 30% regulatory cumulative voting cut-off) of the shares are more likely to adopt accumulative voting but the ownership concentration of other block shareholders tend to be uncorrelated or even negatively correlated with cumulative voting. In addition, both directors and supervisors elected by cumulative voting are (a) more likely to have professional titles, (b) own more stocks on average than those elected by straight voting, and (c) are more likely to be shareholder- rather than management-affiliated or controlling shareholder (typically the largest shareholder-affiliated). Such evidence indicates that they are more capable of fulfilling their duties and suggests that their personal interests may be more compatible with those of the listed corporations. In addition, we extend the existing literature by showing a positive correlation between the percentage of cumulative voting-elected directors sitting in the board of directors and firm performance. However, we did not find a significant relationship between the increase of proportion of CV supervisors and firm performance. In summary, these results demonstrate that cumulative voting, to some extent, improves corporate governance in China's listed corporations.
Download or read book Does Cumulative Voting Matter The Case of China written by Chao Xi and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ongoing debate in comparative corporate governance has been on what specific corporate governance arrangements matter in the governance of pubic firms worldwide. In this debate, the role of cumulative voting has attracted increasing attention. Using a unique, hand-collected dataset of formal adoptions of cumulative voting in 1,060 Chinese listed firms during the period from 2002 through 2012, we extend the growing comparative literature to encompass, for the first time, the case of China. Our empirical inquiry shows that an overwhelming majority of the sample Chinese listed firms have formally embraced cumulative voting. Market reactions to the formal adoptions of cumulative voting were, however, negative on the whole. In this view, we argue that cumulative voting does not matter in China. This, it will be further argued, is attributed in large part to some defining attributes of the adopting firms, more specifically, the comparatively small size of their boards, the relatively low shareholding levels of (large) minority shareholders, as well as the pervasive presence of the overwhelmingly dominant shareholder. The weak public enforcement by the regulatory authorities, and the near absence of private enforcement through shareholder lawsuits, are also important contributing factors. This research supports the view that the value of a particular corporate governance measure is dependent on the context, both at firm-level and country-level.

Firstly, it tests the influence of cumulative voting system introduced by Chinese regulators on corporate governance at enterprise level. Secondly, it discusses whether cumulative voting can have a significant impact on corporate performance and corporate policies. Finally, it investigates whether investors from different institutional backgrounds and legal frameworks pay attention to the quality of corporate governance with significant differences. Very few studies analyse the effects of cumulative voting on corporate policy and firm performance, and whether CV has enhanced the representation of minority shareholders in the board room. This study addresses such issues based on the CV reform experience in China, which was implementd in ad large scale and provides a good setting for examining the effects of CV adoption.

Download or read book Governing Enterprises in China written by Zhang Cheng and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-24 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the nature of the marketization of corporate boards following the introduction of the split share reform, corporate board and shareholder relations, corporate performance, and risk-taking conduct in China. The chapters cover topics such as determinants of corporate board size and independence, corporate risk-taking conduct under different controlling shareholder types. The book deepens our understanding of corporate governance mechanisms as most previous studies have limited their findings using mainstream perspectives grounded on neoclassical theory. It outlines that China’s corporate board composition is determined by the board’s scope of operation, monitoring, bargaining power, and other governance mechanisms and regulations. It also offers a comparison between China’s experience with other economies in general and other transition economies in particular. As such, the book represents an essential overview of the current concerns regarding corporate governance in China. It is of great interest to legal researchers, policymakers, and legal practitioners working with business investments in China.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great progress has been achieved for the structural reform in China enterprises for the past one and a half decades. Along with the reform, the corporate governance structure has been established accordingly. The Chinese Corporate Governance Index (CCGINK) is a useful tool to objectively observe and analyze shareholder behavior, board execution, management incentive and restriction, supervisory committee operation, information disclosure and stakeholders’ interest protection, and is helpful in diagnosing issues that may arise during corporate operations. The CCGINK provides guidance for improvement of corporate governance, and can be used to enhance the sustainable development of corporations.—Chen Qing-Tai, Vice Director, Economic Committee, National Committee of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Former Vice Director of Development and Research Center of the State Council Dean, Public Administration School of Tsinghua University The phenomenal growth of China's capital markets during the past decade belies the fact that Chinese companies have only gradually adopted modern corporate governance structures. Professor Li’s book offers a candid and timely assessment of the quality of the governance mechanisms they employ including the factors that influence their quality and how they relate to subsequent corporate performance. A proper understanding is critical for global investors with an interest in China's markets and for scholars who seek to disentangle corporate governance theory and practice in a fascinating market place. —G. Andrew Karolyi, Charles R. Webb Professor of Finance The Ohio State University Corporate governance is a vital issue that China listing companies and enterprises has to deal with. This book reports an important investigation on the subject of corporate governance. As a major result of the study, a series of governance indices conforming to China’s situation were proposed in the book. The author of the book hence received the Award of Outstanding Contribution in Chinese Enterprise Management, and I was very pleased to preside the ceremony to present him with this prestigious award. —Cheng Si-Wei, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of National People’s Congress, Vice President of Fudan Management Award Foundation Corporate governance issues are important around the world. The ability of a firm to raise capital, to align with partners, and ultimately, to sell products and services to customers, all depend, to some extent, on the quality of corporate governance. This is why the research reported here is so important. That it focuses on corporate governance among Chinese corporations makes it all the more important. With only a limited history of publicly-traded firms, Chinese firms are inventing—right now—the kinds of corporate governance they will need to compete in global markets. It is hard to imagine a more timely research endeavor. —Jay B. Barney, Professor and Chase Chair for Excellence in Corporate Strategy, The Ohio Stae University

Download or read book A Primer on Corporate Governance written by Jean Chen and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its opening up and economic reforms in 1979, China has undergone tremendous economic growth and social development, with a ten percent real gross domestic product growth per year on average through 2013. In spite of such an accomplishment, the current economic growth model in China, which is mainly triggered by the export-led policy and the huge government investment, has been challenged by potential external and internal risks, which do not support sustainable economic growth in the long run. In this book, the author comprehensively reviews the corporate governance practices in China, identifying the major problems within such practices. It is contended that these problems have been seen as the major challenges facing the Chinese economy, and further, that the current weakness of corporate governance practices in China can be ascribed, to a great extent, to the incompleteness and weakness of law enforcement.
