Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the author comments in the Introduction to this book, Corporate Governance is currently a popular topic with regulators, investors, company directors and executives, commentators and academics but this is not just a recent phenomenon. While current interest may be largely a response to major cases of company failure and managerial misconduct, many of the basic issues involved were of concern when limited liability companies were first invented and have been revisited at other times in history. This text offers a very concise introduction to the principles of corporate governance for those wishing to understand the main issues affecting corporate governance in relation to publicly traded corporations. It provides a general overview of the origins and nature of this type of corporation, its stakeholders, the general principles of governance and how they apply to corporations and a brief discussion of Australian as well as international developments that affect Australian companies. The approach adopted in An Introduction to Corporate Governance in Australia emphasises understanding the nature of the entity being governed and how the general principles of governance apply to such an entity.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,7, Munich Business School University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: Particularly in the last decades the awareness of companies themselves and the public for good corporate governance increased dramatically. “Corporate governance is set to be the primary focus for the 21st” century. Most of the advanced economies have released new corporate governance rules and codes or company laws, especially as a result of the financial crisis in 2007 and the breakdown of several big companies worldwide. In Australia attention to corporate governance has grown after the „major corporate collapses and scandals of 2001 and 2002“, which included „five publicly traded (...) companies (...) [such as the] telecom company (One.Tel)“. One.Tel ran out of money and collapsed in 2001. The company could not be revived, all assets were sold and the workers laid off. It has once been the fourth largest telecom company in Australia. The collapse of the Australian company is „associated with serious deficiencies in its corporate governance, including weaknesses in internal control, (...) management communication with the board, and poor executive pay-to-performance link.“ In the first part, this paper will provide you with background information on the terms corporate governance and corporate control. The second part outlines corporate control in Australia by elaborating on the market for corporate control, monitoring by shareholders, monitoring by non-executives and renumeration.

Download or read book Law Corporate Governance and Partnerships at Work written by Richard Mitchell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how businesses manage their labour systems, and particularly how they manage the complex interaction of factors which give rise to instances of 'partnership' style relations between businesses and their employees. The book draws from the literature concerning 'Varieties of Capitalism' (VoC) and the different institutional and regulatory designs inherent in different types of political economy. The book is informed by a new and extensive set of empirical data from Australia that examines the activities of national and multinational business corporations, their outlooks and relationships with stakeholders, and relates these to new and evolving theoretical frameworks based in political economy and law. The book places the Australian regulatory model within this international debate, and assesses the extent to which the system does or does not fit into the general categorisation created in the VoC literature.

Download or read book Corporate Governance in the Australian Public Service written by Tony Tucker and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite it popularity in the private sector, corporate governance has had little traction in the public sector. This study explores the successes and failures of corporate governance as a means of filling the accountability and control gap in Departments of State in the Australian public service. As with other Western democracies, the introduction into Australia of public service reform marked a substantial shift away from the traditional process-based public sector model to a model that increasingly emulated the private sector. These reforms, however, failed to address directly the changes needed in accountability and control in the public service. Corporate governance exists in both private and public sectors as a dichotomy of formal and informal elements, and the informal elements play a paramount role in achieving proper results for government. The Australian immigration department is used to demonstrate that even an organisation with a proud international record in assisting the most vulnerable in the world, can fail if its corporate governance mechanisms are not universally and correctly applied, resulting in outcomes described by an independent inquiry as 'catastrophic'.
