Pay for Performance and Corporate Governance Reform

Directors’ pay and corporate governance continue to generate public outrage and calls for reform. Our meta‐regression analysis of all comparable UK pay‐for‐performance estimates finds little, if any, meaningful association between directors’ pay and corporate performance. However, there is evidence of the effectiveness of past “comply‐or‐explain” rules, especially the Cadbury Report. Unfortunately, the effects of past reform efforts tend to erode over time. This study also explores differences between pay–performance estimates, finding that these are largely explained by how pay and performance are measured by a given study.     

基于公司治理的集团公司内部审计路径探讨

探讨了公司治理环境下内部审计的客观治理角色,并着力分析了集团公司如何对子公司审计这一特殊难题。研究结果表明,基于维系公司受托责任关系的有效履行之共同目标,内部审计与公司治理可以实现高度的契合,从而内部审计可以突破传统的内部控制改进角色,跃升至改进公司治理质量和实现组织目标的特殊治理角色;集团公司开展对子公司的审计,其审计监控机制需要一个合理的组织架构,并可以分别针对直管单位（分公司、办事处等）和控股公司采用“集约式”和“渗透式”的监控路径。     

股权分置改革与上市公司治理的实证研究

股权分置改革是中国资本市场的根本性变革,大量的研究分析都一致肯定了其正面作用。那么,股权分置改革是否提高了上市公司治理水平?本文采用主成分分析法构建了包括控股股东、董事会、经理层、信息披露四个维度的公司治理指数(CGI),并研究了股权分置改革对公司治理指数的影响。实证研究发现:①股权分置改革能够显著提高上市公司的公司治理水平;②在公司治理的四个维度中,股权分置改革对控股股东的影响最显著;③终极产权为国有和股权集中的公司,其改善公司治理的动机更强,公司治理水平得到更大的改善;④考虑股权分置改革进度的影响,进一步控制样本的自选择问题后,本文发现股权分置改革的效应正逐步体现出来,已实施股权分置改革的公司比尚未实施股权分置改革的公司在公司治理水平上有更大的提高。     

新《公司法》与法人人格否认制度

债券融资与电力行业上市公司治理结构的优化

现代资本结构理论和成熟市场经济国家的融资实践都表明,企业融资决策的一般次序为"内部融资——债务融资——股权融资"。而我国上市公司在融资决策上明显偏好于股权融资,电力类上市公司也不例外。企业负债除了税盾效应和财务杠杆作用以外,还有降低代理成本、加强激励约束、进行信号传递等作用,可以优化上市公司治理结构、提高公司价值。电力行业上市公司可凭借行业优势和信誉,充分利用企业债券市场进行融资,在当前我国企业债券市场暂时发展不足的情况下,可以利用可转换公司债券进行融资。

U.S. Union Membership in Future Decades: A Trade Unionist's Perspective

Slower workforce growth, more gradual industrial restructuring, a tighter labor market, and the gradual emergence of a more efficient organizing capability will help to stem the projected decline in private-sector union membership. A broad array of consumer benefits and the development of new form of union membership, such as those that do not necessarily result in exclusive recognition, should also help stem that decline     

煤炭企业混合所有制改革与公司治理机制优化

煤炭企业混合所有制改革是煤炭企业建立现代企业制度的必然要求。煤炭企业混合所有制改革要求在国有煤炭企业中引入民营投资、外商投资,形成煤炭企业投资主体多元化的格局。煤炭企业混合所有制改革要求煤炭企业按《公司法》要求改制为规范的公司制企业,构建以股东会、董事会、监事会、经理层为代表的现代公司治理结构。煤炭企业混合所有制改革拓宽煤炭企业融资渠道,引入国内外战略投资者,可优化煤炭企业的公司治理机制。总之,煤炭企业混合所有制改革有利于煤炭企业公司治理机制的形成和优化。     

Stakeholders, Structure and the Failure of Corporate Governance Reform Initiatives in Post-Crisis Thailand

This paper brings together institutional and political perspectives in a framework for mapping the process by which strategic change initiatives are introduced into a system but result in outcomes that may not be intended, expected or desired by the original architects of change. This general framework links stakeholders, structural elements and their interactions to emergent system-level phenomena. It also enables comparison across different systems undergoing change; for example, to understand why the outcomes of the “same” initiatives may very dramatically in different contexts. To illustrate the framework, we examine the process by which an initial flurry of corporate governance reforms in post-financial crisis Thailand have been largely stymied, in spite of a seemingly clear need for such reforms and the conviction of some domestic and foreign promoters of such reforms.     

Company or Trade Union: Which Wins Workers' Allegiance? A Study of Commitment in the UK Electronics Industry

A particular dimension of organisational commitment, namely identity of workers with the values and decisions of an organisation was explored with 716 employees in three electronics plants; 46 per cent belonged to trade unions. The study examined the extent, the causes and the consequences of dual allegiance to company and union, single allegiance to one or allegiance to neither. Less than 10 per cent displayed dual allegiance and a majority displayed allegiance to neither organisation. The best predictors of allegiance were perceptions of trade union performance and job satisfaction. Those showing dual allegiance also indicated lowest propensity to leave the company. These results, from a key sector of manufacturing industry, show little evidence of high employee involvement. The most typical response would appear to be: 'a plague on both your houses'.

Shaping Union and Gender Identities: A Case Study of Women-Only Trade Union Courses

In the context of efforts to revitalize unions and the acknowledged need to widen participation within trade unions, this paper argues that women‐only trade union education acts as a vehicle for increasing women's participation and for improving their experiences of unions. Drawing on a qualitative research study of women‐only courses in two large male‐dominated British trade unions, the findings indicate that such courses provide the conditions for women to question, reinforce or transform their social identities and thereby can lead to greater union identification and participation.

Introducing OMOV: The Labour Party–Trade Union Review Group and the 1994 Leadership Contest

Most scholars conclude that the introduction of one member, one vote (OMOV) into the electoral college that chooses the Labour leader demonstrates a new, reduced role for the party's affiliated trade unions. This article examines the adoption of OMOV by Labour. It looks at discussions in the Labour party–trade union review group that moulded the decision to adopt OMOV during 1992–1993. Drawing on the full breakdown of results, it goes on to examine the outcome of the 1994 leadership contest. The distribution of votes, union by union, indicates that, contrary to the conventional view, trade union leaderships retained the capacity to shape the pattern of voting through their ability to nominate candidates. The article concludes that the introduction of OMOV did not reduce the role of trade union leaderships in Labour's internal affairs in the manner that many scholars have concluded to be the case.     

基于自我主体价值的行为公司治理理论

本文首先提出并用实验检验了经济主体自我主体价值理论。实验结果显示,经济主体对自己有本能的认同和欣赏,具有自我主体价值感,从而表现出违反完全理性假定的行为特征。进而,本文创立了基于自我主体价值的行为公司治理理论,并运用该理论对公司治理中的代理问题(主体意识)、外部董事制度(主体无涉)、高管持股(主体融合)、家族企业治理(主体同一)、控制权之争(主体互斥)和政府控制(主体错位)等重要问题进行了一以贯之的分析。
