Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is about corporate governance in India in the context of recent mega-corporate frauds and corruption. It strives to discover appropriate governance rules to ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of the institution of corporate bodies, private and public, in India in the context of two mega corruption scandals of 2009, namely, Satyam and Specturam. The author argues that corruption mis-allocates scarce resources from the meritorious to the unworthy, the immoral, the criminal and the powerful. Thus, the author points out, such transactions result in undermining people's trust in the political system and hence causes a decline in the legitimacy of public office. Dr. Swamy refers to the law of Diminishing Interest of the public in opposing corruption when there is no accountability or if the corrupt are not brought to book. Worse, the author states, this consequent apathy towards mega corruption could vitiate the democratic system of India. Hence, the author argues, it is very important for alert citizens to understand the phenomenon of corruption and then bond together to combat it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the book ETHICS IN GOVERNANCE Amidst modern complexities and riddles, executives and organizational heads face immense ethical dilemmas in their decision-making. Circumstantial adversaries pose unique challenges and threats to their conscience and leadership abilities. This book tends to address such dilemmas, threats and challenges in a rather systematic and elucidate manner. It attempts to construct perspectives that may find practical solutions to governance rigor and internal moral conflicts. This is a book full of people, almost too many of them who took part in a national seminar on 'Ethical dimensions of governance' organized at India International Centre: executives, politicians, jurists, media people, medical practitioners, academicians, and organizational heads. Those who were philosophically as well as emotionally interested in the inter-faith debate and who believed in trying to create a synthesis of different belief systems on governance. So there is a kind of internal moral dialogue and deliberations that are captured by the authors. There are countless anecdotes, some humorous and some poignant, and they are fascinating also because such people have never been so exuberant in the public eye anyway. Individuals who are responsible for good governance and deep-down care ethical practices and human values would get enough impetus reading this book. It is also meant to benefit those who want to understand the realities of governance and based up on that want to frame their own philosophy of work and life. This book would further be useful to students and professionals who would like to learn the pitfalls of governance and there-upon set benchmarks for their future endeavors. Nevertheless, if you are unhappy allowing your trinity (intellect, soul and heart) to do the talking in the context of governance then this text cannot be recommended.

Download or read book Corporate Governance written by Vasudha Joshi and published by Foundation Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate governance is part of an economy's system which has today become the most important mechanism for resource allocation. It is affected by capital market, block holders, institutional investors, proxy wars, company law and capital market regulations, and many other macro-economic as well as political factors. Historical evolution of corporate governance naturally has a bearing on current developments. This book is an attempt to weave these factors together coherently. Much of the concerned literature revolves around the agency problem, while in developing countries expropriation of small shareholders is the governance problem. However, shareholder activism is not likely to resolve the issue. Many more measures, from audit committees of the board, rigorous disclosures, exercise of voting rights by institutional investors, strict monitoring by capital market regulator to takeover bids are required to ensure corporate accountability.

Download or read book Corporate Governance in India s Infrastructure Sector written by Umakanth Varottil and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article seeks to examine the specific issues and concerns pertaining to corporate governance in the infrastructure sector more generally, and in India in particular. It identifies three key relationships and issues therein. First, corporate governance framework defines the manner in which managers of infrastructure companies can be incentivised to demonstrate optimal performance so as to benefit shareholders and lenders. Second, the infrastructure sector in India is vulnerable to the ill-effects of related party transactions that put external or minority shareholders at a disadvantage compared to the insider shareholders or promoters, and this requires the imposition of checks and balances that monitor the impact of related party transactions to ensure fairness on all shareholder constituencies. Third, appropriate corporate governance mechanisms will minimise the adverse impact of infrastructure activity on stakeholders outside the industry, and also act as a driving force in the fight against corruption and in otherwise advancing public interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confronting Corruption in Business focuses on the contextual issues that trigger corruption to give the reader a more thorough understanding of destructive leadership. It provides students with a unique, critical perspective on issues of leadership, corruption, and policy in different countries, industries, and companies. While there isn’t a universally agreed upon definition of corruption in social sciences, it generally refers to efforts to secure wealth or power through misusing public power for private gain. This kind of destructive leadership is typically treated as an anomaly, but this book closes the gap in our understanding by highlighting the wider consequences of this behavior within business, and on an international level. Armed with this understanding, one also learns how to mitigate its causes and consequences. Edited by leading experts, the book includes contributions from scholars with international expertise on leadership, strategy, political science, finance, organizational change, and public policy. It is the first book to focus on corruption on the country level and within business, and students in international business, management, ethics, and leadership classes will find it a valuable read.

Download or read book Corporate Governance in India written by Rajesh Chakrabarti and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study describes the Indian corporate governance system and examines how the system has both supported and held back India's ascent to the top ranks of the world's economies. While on paper the country's legal system provides some of the best investor protection in the world, enforcement is a major problem with slow, over-burdened courts and significant corruption. Ownership remains concentrated and family business groups continue to be the dominant business model. There is significant pyramiding and tunneling among Indian business groups and, notwithstanding copious reporting requirements, evidence of earnings management. However, corporate governance in India does not compare unfavorably with any of the other major emerging economies: Brazil, China and Russia. India ranks high on the ease of getting credit, and has a well-functioning banking sector with one of the lowest proportions of nonperforming assets. The two main Stock Exchanges have among the highest number of trades in the world, and the relatively young Securities and Exchanges Board of India has a rigorous regulatory regime to ensure fairness, transparency and good practice. Most importantly, the corporate governance landscape in the country has been changing fast over the past decade, particularly with the enactment of Sarbanes-Oxley type measures and legal changes to improve the enforceability of creditor's rights. If this trend is maintained, India should have the quality of corporate governance necessary to sustain its impressive current growth rates. -- Corporate Governance ; International Financial Markets ; Government Policy and Regulati
