Download or read book German Corporate Governance in International and European Context written by Jean J. du Plessis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-14 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. This second edition is an extensively revised and updated version of the first edition, in particular with a view to the worldwide debt crisis. The authors provide 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. It also expands the scope of the first edition by a treatment of the German financial sector, global corporate finance and governance, and by including a new chapter on compliance of corporate governance laws, rules and standards in Germany. As far as comparative law is concerned, new developments in the area of corporate governance in the EU, the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance and corporate governance in the US, the UK and Australia are covered. 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.

Download or read book German Corporate Law in the 20th Century written by Thilo Kuntz and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German corporate law in the 20th century was marked by a steady flow of reforms molding and shaping the corporation. Having started at the outset of the century with a corporate governance model revolving around shareholder power (at least according to the law in the books), the reform of 1937 established a shift to a board-centered structure, which prevails until today. Adhering to the structure set nearly 30 years earlier, another reform in 1965 mainly readjusted several details and sharpened the model's features, with two exceptions: It contained a section on Konzernrecht, the law of corporate groups, and massively restricted the freedom of contract in corporate law by disallowing deviations from the Aktiengesetz in the corporate charter. Codetermination laws in 1951, 1952 and 1976 established board-level employee participation. Beyond these and other, smaller, reforms, German corporate law was part of broader political developments in Germany - the agony of the Weimar Republic, the rise and fall of the Third Reich, democratization, and Europeanization. This chapter aims at providing a longitudinal view of German corporate law. For the years 1945 to 1990, it is a history of corporate law in West Germany. Readers will, for the most part, not find an explanation of the specific rules governing board members' duties, capital maintenance, or other details. Instead, they will find out about how the two-tier board structure evolved and why it is still in place today, why German corporate law abolished the shareholder-centric model of old, and which ideas lie behind the concept of board-level codetermination so foreign to many non-Germans.

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.
