Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A partir de la loi NRE de 2001, le législateur a très clairement marqué son attachement au respect des règles de bonne gouvernance préalablement formalisées depuis le rapport Viénot I en 1995. La promotion des bonnes pratiques a été très largement reliée par les organismes de défense des actionnaires minoritaires. Pourtant, les autorités de marchés n'ont pas jugé nécessaire de les imposer par la loi. Elles ont préféré laisser aux entreprises le soin de choisir leurs adoptions selon le principe de « respecter ou justifier ». La question de la gouvernance est un enjeu majeur du développement des sociétés cotées. Cette étude cherche les relations entre les évènements d'activisme, la structure de gouvernance et la performance financière. Les actionnaires minoritaires sont les acteurs à l'origine de l'activisme car ils sont aussi les principaux perdants lorsque les dirigeants ou les actionnaires de contrôle décident de maximiser leurs richesses à leurs détriments. La question est de savoir s'ils peuvent s'ériger en contre pouvoir crédible lorsque tous les autres mécanismes de contrôle internes ou externes ont failli.

Book excerpt: A partir de la loi NRE de 2001, le législateur a très clairement marqué son attachement au respect des règles de bonne gouvernance préalablement formalisées depuis le rapport Viénot I en 1995. La promotion des bonnes pratiques a été très largement reliée par les organismes de défense des actionnaires minoritaires. Pourtant, les autorités de marché n'ont pas jugé nécessaire de la imposer par la loi. Elles ont préféré laisser aux entreprises le soin de choisir leur adoption selon le principe de "respecter ou justifier". La question de la gouvernance est un enjeu majeur du développement des sociétés cotées. La preuve en est qu'en dépit de cet engouement pour la bonne gouvernance dans les discours, même les grandes entreprises faisant largement appel à l'épargne publique rechignent à les appliquer. Malgré le signal positif qu'elles pourraient envoyer au marché, ces firmes préfèrent garder des statuts contraires aux intérêts de leurs actionnaires. Cette étude vient répondre à cette interrogation en cherchant les relations entre les événements d'activisme, la structure de gouvernance et la performance financière. Les actionnaires minoritaires sont les acteurs à l'origine de l'activisme car ils sont aussi les princiâux perdants lorsque les dirigeants ou les actionnaires de contrôle décident de maximiser leurs richesses à leur détriments. La question est de savoir s'ils peuvent s'ériger en contre pouvoir crédible lorsque tous les autres mécanismes de contrôle externes ont failli.

Download or read book Organisations hautement durables Gouvernance risques et crit res d apprentissage written by MERAD Myriam and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le « développement durable » est un projet de société séduisant qui reste relativement théorique en raison du déficit de retours d’expériences opérationnelles et méthodologiques. Organisations hautement durables a pour objectif de rendre compte, de comprendre et d’accompagner la mise en pratique du développement durable au sein d’entreprises et d’organismes publics. À ce titre, cet ouvrage : – définit le concept d’organisation hautement durable en s’appuyant sur les notions de risques organisationnels et sur ce qui est à préserver : « le capital critique » ; – identifie les stades d’apprentissage organisationnel en vue d’atteindre les caractéristiques d’une organisation hautement durable et responsable ; – souligne l’intérêt des indicateurs et pointe leurs dérives d’usage ; – propose des méthodes d’aide multicritère à la décision, notamment pour la mise en place d’une stratégie et d’un plan d’actions développement durable ; – aborde les difficultés opérationnelles du changement organisationnel et discute des moyens et des leviers d’actions pour les dépasser ; – soulève l’importance du rôle de la gouvernance dans ce cadre et propose des fondements et des critères de son évaluation. Illustré de nombreux exemples et d’expériences de terrain, cet ouvrage repose sur un partage des pratiques et sur une approche scientifique. Il propose une ingénierie avec de véritables outils politiques, organisationnels et techniques pour aider les dirigeants d’entreprises et d’organismes publics à opérer un changement vers un nouveau schéma d’organisation axé sur la gestion des problématiques environnementales et sociétales. Organisations hautement durables s’adresse aux décideurs, aux analystes, aux ingénieurs et aux consultants qui ont à répondre à une demande particulière en matière de développement durable et de responsabilité sociétale.

Download or read book The Control of Corporate Europe written by Fabrizio Barca and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2001-11-15 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an international team of authors, this book provides the first systematic account of the control of corporate Europe based on voting block data disclosed in accordance with the European Union's Large Holdings Directive (88/627/EEC). The study provides detailed information on the voting control of companies listed on the official markets in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and, as a benchmark comparison, the United States. The authors record a high concentration of control of corporations in many European countries with single blockholders frequently controlling more than fifty per cent of corporate votes. In contrast, a majority of UK listed companies have no blockholder owning more than ten per cent of shares, and a majority of US listed companies have no blockholder with more than six per cent of shares. Those chapters devoted to individual countries illustrate how blockholders can use legal devices to leverage their voting power over their cash-flow rights, or how incumbents prevent outsiders from gaining voting control. It is shown that the cultural and linguistic diversity of Europe is (almost) matched by its variety of corporate control arrangements.

Download or read book Corporate Governance After the Financial Crisis written by Stephen M. Bainbridge and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2012-02-16 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years from 2000 to 2010 were bookended by two major economic crises. The bursting of the dotcom bubble and the extended bear market of 2000 to 2002 prompted Congress to pass the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which was directed at core aspects of corporate governance. At the end of the decade came the bursting of the housing bubble, followed by a severe credit crunch, and the worst economic downturn in decades. In response, Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act, which changed vast swathes of financial regulation. Among these changes were a number of significant corporate governance reforms. Corporate Governance after the Financial Crisis asks two questions about these changes. First, are they a good idea that will improve corporate governance? Second, what do they tell us about the relative merits of the federal government and the states as sources of corporate governance regulation? Traditionally, corporate law was the province of the states. Today, however, the federal government is increasingly engaged in corporate governance regulation. The changes examined in this work provide a series of case studies in which to explore the question of whether federalization will lead to better outcomes. The author analyzes these changes in the context of corporate governance, executive compensation, corporate fraud and disclosure, shareholder activism, corporate democracy, and declining US capital market competitiveness.

Download or read book Inefficient Markets written by Andrei Shleifer and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2000-03-09 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The efficient markets hypothesis has been the central proposition in finance for nearly thirty years. It states that securities prices in financial markets must equal fundamental values, either because all investors are rational or because arbitrage eliminates pricing anomalies. This book describes an alternative approach to the study of financial markets: behavioral finance. This approach starts with an observation that the assumptions of investor rationality and perfect arbitrage are overwhelmingly contradicted by both psychological and institutional evidence. In actual financial markets, less than fully rational investors trade against arbitrageurs whose resources are limited by risk aversion, short horizons, and agency problems. The book presents and empirically evaluates models of such inefficient markets. Behavioral finance models both explain the available financial data better than does the efficient markets hypothesis and generate new empirical predictions. These models can account for such anomalies as the superior performance of value stocks, the closed end fund puzzle, the high returns on stocks included in market indices, the persistence of stock price bubbles, and even the collapse of several well-known hedge funds in 1998. By summarizing and expanding the research in behavioral finance, the book builds a new theoretical and empirical foundation for the economic analysis of real-world markets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a painstaking analysis, Roe (law, Harvard Law School) examines the impact of a nation's strong social policies on the corporate governance, suggesting that stronger social policies can cause an American style of diffuse ownership among shareholders to fail. The link between social policies and corporate governance is examined statistically for a large number of countries, and in case studies for seven: Italy, Germany, Sweden, the UK, France, Japan, and the US. Product markets, securities markets, and the ability of corporate and economic structures to induce a political backlash are discussed.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Paradox written by Wendy K. Smith and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The notion of paradox dates back to ancient philosophy, yet only recently have scholars started to explore this idea in organizational phenomena. Two decades ago, a handful of provocative theorists urged researchers to take seriously the study of paradox, and thereby deepen our understanding of plurality, tensions, and contradictions in organizational life. Studies of organizational paradox have grown exponentially over the past two decades, canvassing varied phenomena, methods, and levels of analysis. These studies have explored such tensions as today and tomorrow, global integration and local distinctions, collaboration and competition, self and others, mission and markets. Yet even with both the depth and breadth of interest in organizational paradoxes, key issues around definitions and application remain. This Handbook seeks to aid, engage, and fuel the expanding interest in organizational paradox. Contributions to this volume depict how paradox studies inform, and are informed, by other theoretical perspectives, while creating a resource that enables scholars to learn about and apply this lens across varied organizational phenomena. The increasing complexity, volatility, and ambiguity in our world continually surfaces paradoxical dynamics. Thus, this Handbook offers insights to scholars across organizational theory.
