Book excerpt: The intersection of corporate governance, financial performance, and long-term value creation is critical to effective sustainability in business. Effective corporate governance provides the framework for accountability and ethical decision-making, directly influencing a company's financial health and its capacity for long-term growth. Such tactics also ensure transparency and trust, enhancing financial performance by mitigating risks and optimizing resource allocation. Successful business operations involve long-term value creation, which involves investing in innovation, sustainability, and stakeholder relationships. Effective research into governance structures that support both immediate financial objectives and enduring value creation is necessary to ensure businesses thrive and achieve a sustainable future. Intersecting Corporate Governance, Financial Performance, and Long-Term Value Creation explores the convergence of corporate governance, finance, and value creation in business. It offers solutions for long-term business sustainability through various models of governance and banking and finance applications. This book covers topics such as energy engineering, Islamic finance, and sustainable development, and is a useful resource for business owners, government officials, finance professionals, engineers, scientists, academicians, and researchers.

Download or read book Beyond Governance written by Martin Fahy and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-04-08 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following a series of corporate scandals, legislators have company executives in their sights, and are arming themselves with ever-greater regulatory firepower. All agree that good governance is essential - but must not be allowed to stifle business performance. Beyond Governance develops the concept of Enterprise Governance, an emerging framework which unites Performance, Conformance and Corporate Responsibility and shows how addressing all of these areas in a concerted, coordinated fashion will deliver value to the organisation and its stakeholders. In particular, it focuses on the skills, processes and systems that are required to deliver excellence in each of these areas, giving readers a practical insight into the issues and an understanding of best practice in each area. Many firms are rethinking their finance activities in the light of e-commerce, shared service centres, business intelligence technology and cost pressures. Beyond Governance explores the challenge of building a modern, flexible finance function, describing the emerging role of the new CFO and how finance professionals should respond to this new business environment.

Download or read book Integrated Reporting and Corporate Governance written by Laura Girella and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate governance and corporate reporting are closely linked to each other, and their respective evolutionary patterns are mutually influencing. Along with the recent expansion of company disclosure, a growing attention is being paid to corporate governance determinants and mechanisms underpinning the decision to voluntarily adopt non-financial disclosure formats, such as integrated reporting. At institutional level, several national corporate governance codes have been changed towards the recognition and inclusion of this innovative, non-financial language. In academic research, the influence of corporate governance variables vis-à-vis the choice to embrace such reporting practices has been subject to a long scrutiny. However, only a little inquiry has so far analysed the influence of corporate governance factors on integrated reporting adoption, quality, and credibility. Accordingly, the aim of the book is to investigate if, and to what extent, corporate board composition and characteristics can affect, at the same time, the decision to voluntarily adopt integrated reporting by companies as well as their financial performance. The study carries out an empirical analysis of the professional features of board members at the time of their decision to implement integrated reporting as a new form of company accountability. The work provides innovative insights into the articulated relationships between the quantitative and qualitative composition of corporate boards and the latter’s choice to uptake this advanced form of reporting to represent the wider value creation processes of their organisations.

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 and Investment Management written by Roger M. Barker and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2017-12-29 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shareholder engagement with publicly listed companies is often seen as a key means to monitor corporate malpractices. In this book, the authors examine the corporate governance roles of key institutional investors in UK corporate equity, including pension funds, insurance companies, collective investment funds, hedge and private equity funds and sovereign wealth funds. They argue that institutions’ corporate governance roles are an instrument ultimately shaped by private interests and market forces, as well as law and regulatory obligations, and that policy-makers should not readily make assumptions regarding their effectiveness, or their alignment with public interest or social good.

Download or read book Shareholders Strategy and Value Creation written by Wojciech Muras and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The central task of contemporary strategic management is to look for sources of value and to achieve above-average firm performance. The effective implementation of a value creation strategy requires a comprehensive approach, including the creation of a systemic management structure aimed at increasing company value. The concept of value-based management involves consciously inspiring, undertaking and implementing value-oriented actions. Value creation takes place at all levels of management and in all organisational units of the company; therefore, the implementation of all management functions should be assigned to this goal. Thus, the role of managers is gaining importance, especially those who are capital-linked to companies, who set goals and verify them by means of informed decisions aimed at maximising value in the long term. The book presents a multi-dimensional analysis of shareholders' impact on company value creation. The authors chose the IT sector as the area of study; this sector, being one in which modern technologies are essential, acquires special significance for the global economy. The book features: a review of notions and concepts related to the management of company value and methods of measuring it, the shareholder's impact on the creation of company value, and factors affecting long-term value creation; an analysis of the places of occurrence, power and direction of a shareholder's impact on building the long-term capacity of an IT sector company for creating the value thereof, as well as the conceptualisation and operationalisation of such impact; an analysis of the role of shareholders in IT sector companies, a profile of shareholder competence which makes the role of a shareholder unique to the company and fulfils the 'value-creating owner' postulate; an analysis of the role of hired managers cooperating with the shareholders with an indication of the significance of mutual development and the supplementation of one's own skills. The book is dedicated to scientists in the field of strategic management, value-based management, and leadership; shareholders; students of EMBA and MBA programmes; practitioners in strategic management; and current shareholders of modern technology companies (in particular from the IT sector) and future investors, for all of whom it may offer a valuable outlook on the management principles and practices in the sectors, particularly with respect to the long-term creation of company value"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated reporting in corporate communication is a process that results in improved communication, most visibly an ‘integrated report,’ about value creation over time. An integrated report is a concise communication about how an organization’s strategy, governance, performance, and prospects lead to the creation of value over the short, medium, and long term. It represents the integrated summarization of a company’s performance in terms of both financial and other relevant information. Integrated reporting provides greater context for performance data, clarifies how relevant information fits into operations or a business, and may help make decision making better in the long-term. The aim and scope of this book is to provide readers with an overview and analysis of the topics of both integrated financial reporting and a multiple capital model. Analyzing this topic through both a qualitative and quantitative framework, this important business topic is introduced and framed in the context of current market trends, while also including implications for business management professionals. This book provides a thorough examination of the topics of integrated reporting, management ramifications, and opportunities for management professionals. This easy to read and understand book provides numerous take away points, action items and implications. It includes real world examples, sources where more information can be obtained, and direct cause-to-effect examples, making it a valuable resource for readers.

Download or read book Corporate Governance and Sustainable Value Creation Models written by Shantha Indrajith Hikkaduwa Liyanage and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-12-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes Anglo-American and Continental European Corporate Governance models by examining jurisdictions in Germany, India, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. It also compares the corporate value creation model in the United Kingdom with that of Botswana, Germany, India, Sri Lanka and South Africa. With these comparisons, the author argues for the search and adoption of a corporate governance model to replace the Anglo-American Model, which operates in the interest of shareholders while overlooking non-shareholder stakeholders’ interest including society and the environment. The book also examines how corporate governance models can help create long-term sustainable corporate value creation. This book is appropriate for scholars, students, academic and policy makers that are interested in sustainable corporate governance and value creation models around the world.
