Corporate Governance and Performance of Indian Firms: The Effect of Board Size and Ownership

The paper reviews international literature on corporate governance and firm performance and investigates the relationship in the Indian context, taking into account the endogeneity in the relationship. Governance parameters include board size, directors’ shareholding, institutional and foreign shareholding, while the fragmentation in shareholding is captured by public shareholding. A simultaneous equation regression model for Tobin’s Q, as a measure of firm performance, is attempted using these variables, while controlling for industry effects and other non-governance variables. The data corresponds to a panel of 340 large, listed Indian firms for the period 1997–2001 spread across 24 industry groups.

Board Committees in Corporate Governance: A Cross‐Disciplinary Review and Agenda for the Future

The importance of board committees – specialized subgroups that exist to perform many of the board's most critical functions, such as setting executive compensation, identifying potential board members, and overseeing financial reporting – has grown over time due to increased legal requirements and greater complexity of the environment in which firms operate. This has resulted in a large body of work examining board committees across the accounting, finance, and management disciplines. However, this research has developed rather independently within each discipline, preventing scholars and practitioners from developing a comprehensive understanding of board committees. To address this issue, we conduct a comprehensive review of the literature that: 1) summarizes and synthesizes antecedents and outcomes associated with board committees in publicly‐traded firms in English common law countries; and 2) offers a critical analysis of existing research, providing recommendations for advancements and new directions in board committee research.

首届国有企业公司治理论坛征文

<正>2016年,习近平总书记在全国国有企业党的建设工作会议上提出两个“一以贯之”：坚持党对国有企业的领导是重大政治原则,必须一以贯之;建立现代企业制度是国有企业改革的方向,也必须一以贯之。2020年,中央全面深化改革委员会审议通过《国企改革三年行动方案（2020-2022年）》,强调坚定市场化改革方向,落实国有企业改革“1+N”政策体系和顶层设计的具体施工图,做强做优做大国有经济,增强国有企业活力、提高效率,加快构建新发展格局。2022年,《政府工作报告》指出,深入实施国企改革三年行动,完成国企改革三年行动任务,加快国有经济布局优化和结构调整,深化混合所有制改革,加强国有资产监管,促进国企聚焦主责主业、提升产业链供应链支撑和带动能力。国有企业改革是新时代、新形势、新思想下的改革。加强和完善国有企业公司治理,既是深化国有企业改革的重要目标,更是将中国宏观政治体制落实到微观企业治理的有效方式,是国家治理体系和治理能力现代化的重要组成部分。2022年是《国企改革三年行动方案（2020-2022年）》的最后一年,在这一关键时期,思考、探寻中国国有企业公司治理的改革实践和理论创新具有特殊意义。

The Effects of Corporate Governance on the Informativeness of Earnings

This study draws upon prior research on corporate governance and examines whether the informativeness of earnings, proxied by the earnings response coefficient varies with the percentage of outside independent directors serving on the board, the absence of CEO duality, and the presence of independent audit (AUDC), compensation (COMC), and nominating (NOMC) committees. The results suggest a positive association between the proportion of outside independent directors serving on firm’s boards and earnings informativeness. However, the results do not suggest an association between non-CEO duality, or independent AUDC, COMC, and NOMC and earnings informativeness.

The Influence of Board Monitoring,Executive Incentives,and Corporate Strategy on Employment Stability

This study examines the effects of corporate governance and diversification strategy on organizational employment stability. Calls for reform in the governance of public corporations have led to the adoption of practices that render senior executives more accountable to shareholders. However, the extant corporate governance literature suggests that mechanisms which make managers more accountable to shareholders might introduce a short-term bias to top managers’ decision-making. Arguing that employment stability reflects a long-term decision-making orientation, results of this study show that firms with boards comprised of a greater proportion of independent, or “outside,” directors have lower levels of aggregate employment stability. In contrast, findings indicate that more diversified firms tend to have higher levels of aggregate employment stability.     

Russia's Evolving Corporate Governance in the Cultural Context

Abstract

The paper explores evolution and current state of the Russian corporate governance in cultural context. Russia has a relatively short history of corporate governance, and securities market and stock capital play a less significant role, compared to the West. The evolution of culture and corporate governance is analyzed in a comparative setting. Under the Soviet framework, business and corporate developments were non-existent or severely restricted. The post-Soviet capitalism is characterized by dynamic and turbulent developments in corporate governance and business culture. The paper examines the Russian findings from the recent international studies of culture and explores cultural impact on corporate governance in the country.
