Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Shareholder Engagement and Voting written by Harpreet Kaur and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 1013 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All over the world, companies play an important role in the economy. Different types of stakeholders hold the reins in these companies. An important class are the shareholders that finance the activities of these companies. In return, stakeholders have a say on how these companies should be organized and structure their activities. This is primarily done through voting and engaging. These mechanisms of voting and engaging allow the shareholders to decide significant aspects of the company structure, from who governs it to how much directors are paid. However, how shareholders vote and engage and how far their rights stretch are organized differently in different countries. This pioneering book provides insights into what rights these shareholders have and how the shareholders of companies in nineteen different jurisdictions participate in corporate life through voting and engaging. Comparative and international in scope, it pays particular attention to how jurisdictions align and differ around the world.

Download or read book Forcing Shareholder Engagement Theoretical Underpinning and Political Ambitions written by Hanne S. Birkmose and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rights and duties of shareholders have increasingly been included in the European debate on how to ensure good corporate governance, particularly in listed companies. The 2008-2009 financial crisis added urgency to the debate as it revealed a lack of critical oversight by shareholders, and in particular by institutional investors. The response of the EU Commission, as well as the Member States, has been to promote legislative initiatives aimed at increasing shareholder engagement and accountability. The aim of this paper is to examine three lines of argument that have been made to support initiatives to promote shareholder engagement in company law and to discuss the legitimacy of shareholder engagement. Undoubtedly, other arguments can be made as well, but as the Commission has chosen to promote shareholder engagement through the Shareholder Rights Directive and thereby the existing company law framework, the paper will not include arguments found outside the company law sphere.The starting point of this paper is the traditional argument for shareholder engagement in corporate governance theory. These theories presented in section II may give an understanding of the mechanisms of shareholder engagement and the limitations of shareholder engagement as a corporate governance mechanism. Second, this paper discusses the post-crisis critique of shareholder passivity and the references to shareholders' ownership. The discussions in section III seek to establish what a shareholder owns and how ownership may determine the rights and duties of a shareholder, in particular whether ownership may justify that shareholders should increase their engagement with investee companies. Finally, the paper examines the Commission's emphasis on the overall corporate governance framework as a tool to ensure the long-term sustainability of EU companies. Section IV borrows from stakeholder theory and public policy theory in order to seek to establish whether the call for increased shareholder engagement can be justified by shareholder accountability. Summarizing the findings in section II to IV, section V discusses the implications and justification of the apparent shift from traditional corporate governance concepts to a stronger emphasis on shareholder engagement and shareholder accountability.

Download or read book Perceived Effect of Shareholders on Corporate Governance written by Bashir Muhammad and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study aimed to investigate the effect of shareholder engagement on corporate governance in Pakistan. In the current research study shareholders participate as role of executive director, management, protection of rights, annual general meeting and meeting of board of director. The study utilized primary data that were collected from 200 randomly selected investors through a structured questionnaire. All the investors were collected through proportional allocation method from Tourus Securities & First National Equity companies. The collected data were subjected to Cronbach's Alpha for its reliability, and regression and correlation analyses were adopted to investigate the effect of executive directors, management, AGM (Annual General Meeting), meeting of BOD (Board of Director) on corporate governance. Similarly, model diagnostic tests like multicollinearity and heteroskedasticity were also applied for checking the model assumptions. The results of the study indicate that executive director, protection of right and management have significant and positive relationship with corporate governance and annual general meeting has significant but negative relationship with corporate governance while meeting of board of director has non-significant positive relationship with corporate governance. Therefore, it is concluded that shareholders engagement as executive director, management, protection of rights and meeting of board of director have direct effect on corporate governance while shareholders engagement as annual general meeting has no significant effect on the corporate governance. It is suggested that the findings of the study might play a vital role for the investors, shareholders and all those interested to invest or purchase any stock for the first time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a book about the ways in which capital markets have come to be shaped by the ubiquity of sophisticated investors. In particular, the majority of today's investors have the economic might and technical capacity to play a role in the decision-making of the corporations in which they invest. This brings with it a host of benefits, such as better corporate strategy and mechanisms to ameliorate the moral hazard that can exist when the people who bear the risk of corporate activity are different than those who make decisions. It also poses regulatory challenges, and a key element of this book is an examination of the ways in which our thinking about corporations and capital markets must change to reflect the prevalence of sophisticated shareholders"--
