浅谈矿山环境的综合性治理方案的实施

随着社会经济的发展,环境问题越来越突出。据统计,人类对环境的破坏每15年左右翻一番。而自然也对人类进行了报复,水土流失、"沙尘暴"现象、水体污染、草场退化、地面变形、采矿废石占地效应等愈来愈严重,采矿引起的一系列矿山环境问题不仅威胁到人民生命财产安全,而且严重影响和制约着经济的发展,也引发了一系列社会问题和矛盾,近年来,地质环境和生态系统问题已逐渐受到人们的重视,科学开发矿产资源与保护生态环境已经成为人们的共识。各国的学者已围绕地质—生态环境恶化问题进行了大量的探索研究(常发强,1997),取得了一些可喜的成果。本文主要针对矿山环境的综合治理方案的实施进行了探讨。     

中小上市公司治理结构与会计信息透明度关系研究

完善的公司治理结构对会计信息披露有着积极的作用,会计信息披露亦有助于提高公司治理和经营管理透明度。经对2007-2010年深市样本中小上市公司Logistic回归分析,结果表明:第一大股东控制力、董事会规模和公司规模与会计信息透明度正相关;独立董事比例、董事长与总经理两职合一和资产负债率与会计信息透明度负相关;监事会规模与会计信息透明度无明显的相关性。     

Performance Implications of IJV Boards: A Contingency Perspective

This study draws from the corporate governance literature to investigate the implications of board involvement for international joint ventures (IJVs). We extend recent corporate governance research on the value of board involvement by investigating unique sources of complexity related to the nature of the IJV. We argue and find that board involvement can enhance the performance of IJVs, particularly for collaborations that are complex in nature due to their broad functional scope as well the level of market overlap between IJV parents. We complement recent research on joint venture control that has focused on the antecedents and types of control, as well as studies on formal (e.g. contractual safeguards and monitoring) and informal governance mechanisms (e.g. trust) by providing empirical evidence that IJV board involvement is valuable when directors undertake their control and coordination responsibilities. We advance corporate governance research by providing evidence that joint ventures possess several unique characteristics that shape the value of board involvement, thereby showing that applications of corporate governance theory to joint ventures are useful, but should be made with care.     

Multidimensional configurations of the organizational climate construct

This study describes the creation and validation of a multidimensional model which assesses the level of employee satisfaction based on international theoretical models. It utilizes data collected from a sample of 518 public and private company employees during the year 2009 in the city/state of São Paulo, Brazil. In the first stage of the study, 15 independent dimensions were theoretically obtained. In the second stage, five different multiple dimensions were confirmed using structure equation modeling (SEM) technique, thus characterizing general configurations of the organizational climate construct denominated motivation, management philosophy, leadership, people management and nature of work. It is hoped that the model can contribute by enhancing managerial best practices of an organization by attending a major demand for those listed on stock markets, since these companies must periodically provide information on job satisfaction of their employees to maintain or achieve higher levels of corporate governance.

西方公共治理理论在当代中国有效适用的逻辑

西方公共治理理论具有普适性的成分。当代中国公共治理理论有效适用整合的必要来源于公民社会的渐次成长,整合的途径是组织重建与信仰重塑,政府在其中发挥关键作用。促成整合根本上需要利益共享。利益共享是当代中国公共治理理论有效适用的基本指向。权力共享是利益共享的前提。当代中国,公共治理理论有效适用的失败是改革机制扭曲,特别是改革共识缺失的表现。社会转型的当代中国,公共治理理论的有效适用与政治发展密切勾连于现代国家建设。对治理失败的应对须从信任构建着手,这必然与治理规则设定及其施行及治理精英成长紧密相连。整合与共享是从应然层面上对公共治理理论当代中国有效适用的描述,失败及其应对则是当代中国公共治理理论有效适用的实然展示。当代中国,整合、共享、失败、定位及失败应对形塑了公共治理理论有效适用的逻辑。     

Corporate Governance Reforms in the Post-1997 Asian Crisis: Is There Really a Convergence to the Anglo-American Model?

Abstract

Following the 1997-Asian crisis, a number of crisis-hit countries were committed to the rapid transformation of the corporate governance system to one that is modeled after the Anglo-American system. This, as the article argues, is based on a false premise, that what may have worked in the United States/United Kingdom can also be applied in East Asia. In this regard, the convergence at the firm level is seen to be more in “form” rather than in “substance”. This study assesses Singapore's corporate system in terms of its recognition of the merits of the Western model. It then details the corporate governance style of Temasek Holdings Limited (THL), a state- owned enterprise (SOE) in charge of monitoring government investments in companies. The choice of THL as a case study is based on the premise that THL operates very much like a private sector corporation. In addition, it has the ability to influence the standard of corporate governance of Singaporean SOEs. Because the SOEs are large players in their respective industries, the corporate governance of SOEs establish the standards and expectations for monitoring in non-SOEs. There are indications to suggest that the THL has taken into consideration certain aspects of corporate governance practices that may not necessarily be in line with those advocated by the Singapore government. The article argues that selective adaptation such as the style adopted in the THL more realistically portrays the corporate governance practices of East Asian corporations.     

Independence and Architecture of Financial Supervision: With Focus on the Effects on Banking Stability

Abstract

Empirical work on the performances of supervisory governance and architecture is scarce relative to the intensifying debates on related institutional arrangements. Using an expansive panel data-set, this paper is a first attempt to explore the effects of governance, architecture and their interactions on banking stability. Empirical analyses reveal that independence matters, as a major governance factor, and the two critical architecture factors, the integration of authorities and the central bank' involvement undermine banking stability. Also, in spite of the interaction between independence and architecture, its effect appears to be limited.
