Abstract: Chinese privately owned enterprises (POEs) have become a significant component of Hong Kong's capital market, accounting for 13 per cent of the market capitalization of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong and being the largest group of Mainland companies listed in Hong Kong. However, alongside the unwillingness of the Exchange to publicize this group of Mainland issuers, these firms are generally ignored in the research on corporate governance of Hong Kong-listed Mainland companies. By contrast, Red Chips and H-share companies have received much attention. To fill the gap, this dissertation analyses corporate governance, in particular three levels of agency problems, of Chinese POEs listed in Hong Kong. An empirical study lays a solid foundation for the whole dissertation. It reveals that most Hong Kong-listed Chinese POEs have a controlling shareholder who usually is also the Chairman of the Board. However, with the widespread participation of professional managers in top management, only less than half of these firms are family businesses. Meanwhile, the agency conflict between the controlling shareholder and professional managers is found to be rather intense in these companies. In this respect, the legal and regulatory rules governing the duties of directors of Hong Kong-listed companies, especially those in the Listing Rules, have provided a "bonding function" to help alleviate this conflict. As to the agency conflict between the majority shareholder and minority shareholders, irregularities and misconducts of Mainland POEs and/or their controlling shareholders are found to be particularly detrimental to the investing public in Hong Kong. However, empirical data discloses that the enforcement actions by the Exchange and the Securities and Futures Commission against abusive individuals and companies are insufficient. Besides, public investors do not have practical means to obtain redress for their pecuniary loss. In this connection, two reform suggestions are proposed: establishing a "Minority Shareholder Compensation Plan" and a strong regulatory cooperation mechanism between Hong Kong and the Mainland. This dissertation also explores a third level of agency conflict, namely the relationship between Chinese POEs listed in Hong Kong and one of their vital stakeholders - Mainland local governments. It is found that this relationship is indeed a double-edged sword. The lawful participation of controllers of these firms in the Mainland local political system may benefit the company in the long run, while too closely enmeshed ties between businesses and governments may pose huge risks to overseas listed POEs. In conclusion, this dissertation argues that, since Hong Kong-listed Chinese POEs originated in the Mainland and are essentially operating under the broad background of China's social and economic transition, agency conflicts that exist in these firms have been largely shaped by the social, economic and political milieu of mainland China, and are hence both unique and complicated. By contrast, Hong Kong's regulatory regime so far has played a rather limited role in tackling these agency conflicts. As a result, compared with the disciplines of Hong Kong's capital market, the distinct legal and institutional settings in the Mainland remain a more important factor to the overall performance of Hong Kong-listed Chi

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper aims to examine if the difference of legal traditions make different corporate governance regimes for protecting interest of listed family enterprises' shareholders through evaluating and comparing corporate governance regimes in the Greater China region, including Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China. The result is consistent with the LLSV paper, i.e. common law tradition constitute better corporate governance regime. We also find that countries with civil law traditions can be enhance the quality of the corporate governance regime through legal and financial reforms, and through adopting some measures which is commonly found in companies govern by common law tradition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intermediate Examination Paper from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,2, University of St Andrews, language: English, abstract: Corporate Governance (CG) has always been a critically viewed topic and is being increasingly discussed after the Enron and WorldCom scandals, which had a worldwide outreach (Petra, 2006, p. 107) or major cases of poor corporate governance in Asia such as the Peregrine or the CA Pacific Securities Case in the 1990s. On this account, stricter rules have been introduced and existing regulations were re-examined in many markets in order to restore the public confidence in corporate governance systems and the transparency and accountability of organisations. The corporate governance system in Hong Kong is characterised by unique features differing from the Anglo-American framework. The extensive amount of family-controlled companies and mainland firms would suggest a deficient corporate governance system. In spite of this, a study by Nan, Kang and Kim (1999) comparing corporate governance among Asian economies indicated that Hong Kong has significantly higher corporate governance standards and equally more sophisticated legal systems governing the protection of property rights than other countries in that area. As regard to the structure of this coursework, initially, the general theoretic foundations of corporate governance are explained in chapter two. Thereafter, the specifics of the market in Hong Kong will be examined, comparing the development of global corporate governance to the development in Hong Kong. It is also explained why transplanted British and American laws and regulations seem ineffective. Chapter 4.1 then analyses the composition of shareholders in Hong Kong, answering the question as to why there is only a small number of minority shareholders actively participating in corporate governance. In chapter 4.2, it will be discussed whether minority shareholders are successful in confronti

Download or read book Corporate Governance and China's H-share Market written by Alice De Jonge and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using detailed case studies of the first nine mainland Chinese companies to be listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange (1993 94), Alice de Jonge examines the evolution of corporate governance law and culture in China s H-share market. A story emerges not of tensions between ideas of corporate governance from two different legal systems Hong Kong vs. mainland Chinese nor about legal convergence as China adopts concepts from Anglo-American jurisdictions. Rather, it is a story of individual firms being pragmatic in mediating the different agendas of state-agencies that own or control them. Corporate Governance and China s H-Share Market looks at corporate governance in a cross-border context is unique in providing a detailed understanding of China s H-share market reveals why a beer company was the first ever Chinese firm to be listed overseas. This fascinating work will appeal to postgraduate students and scholars of corporate governance, Asian law and legal systems and Asian business, as well as Chinese scholars more generally. Professionals such as law practitioners working in Chinese law will also find the book of interest.
Book Synopsis Family Business and Corporate Governance in Hong Kong by : Angus Young
Download or read book Family Business and Corporate Governance in Hong Kong written by Angus Young and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hong Kong is a global metropolitan city and a former British colony. Beneath its modern outlook and Western influences, many inhabitants of Hong Kong with Chinese ancestry still held on to traditional Chinese values and customs. As such, it would be a mistake to think that the laws transplanted from Britain to Hong Kong have been unproblematic. Then again, this does not mean that the local Chinese reject or oppose the transplanted laws outright. Rather, the differences in the value systems embedded in the laws and the local Chinese culture have created some ideological tensions. Such is the case for the directors of Chinese family wholly owned and operated companies in the territory. Whilst the transplanted British company laws might suit non-family and public companies with diverse share ownership structure, this is not the case for Chinese family companies. Instead, directors of these types of compliance comply with a normative order emanating from Chinese values and norms rooted in Confucianism. Yet the incongruences between legal duties and Chinese norms mean that it is not simply a matter of amending the law to incorporate the Chinese values because the divide between the two is impossible to bridge. This book not only examines why the transplanted directors' duties are inappropriate for these companies, it recommends that a separate self-regulated regime for Chinese family companies should be established. Critics might argue that this gap in corporate governance regulation had not created upheavals in Hong Kong, so there is no urgency in changing status quo. But if we look closer the lack of regulation for Chinese family companies had not been trouble free as a growing number of cases have shown that it has adversely affected the workings of these companies. Governance problems usually emerge when tensions within families are unresolved, and in the worst-case scenario, fen jia (division of assets leading to liquidation) occurs. Given that Hong Kong has an estimated half a million Chinese family companies, this regulatory oversight could negatively impact on the territory's spirit of entrepreneurialism. Therefore, this monograph advocates that the informal network of Chinese family businesses should band together and adapt Chinese value system to resolve an essentially Chinese regulatory problem." -- book cover.
Book Synopsis Family Business in China, Volume 2 by : Ling Chen
Download or read book Family Business in China, Volume 2 written by Ling Chen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-04 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike other economies, family businesses in China are greatly affected by the derived Confucian culture, excessive marketization, as well as the seemingly endless institutional supervision by a transitional Chinese government. China has a strong historical legacy, devoted to patriarchal values and strong family-centered traditions. This volume discusses the current status, upcoming challenges, and future prospects for family businesses in China. It explores unique organizational characteristics that are associated with Chinese family firms, such as being entrepreneurial, having concentrated power in the hands of the family business owners, and extensive family and semi-family involvement in the business. It also discusses shared features of strategic actions among Chinese family firms that include technology innovations, diversification, and internationalization, as well as the political connections that Chinese family firms often have. This book offers researchers a comprehensive overview of small family firms that are likely to be home-based microenterprises as well as large publicly traded business groups that are frequently owned by business families.
Book Synopsis Chinese Companies and the Hong Kong Stock Market by : Flora Xiao Huang
Download or read book Chinese Companies and the Hong Kong Stock Market written by Flora Xiao Huang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-30 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listing by companies from one country on the stock market of another country is a device often used both to raise capital in, and to increase bonding with, the target country. This book examines the listing by Chinese companies on the Hong Kong stock market. It discusses the extent of the phenomenon, compares the two different regulatory regimes, and explores the motivations for the cross-listing. It argues that a key factor, in addition to raising capital and bonding with the Hong Kong market, is Chinese companies’ desire to encourage legal and regulatory reforms along Hong Kong lines in mainland China, in order to develop and open up China’s domestic capital markets.

Book Synopsis Understanding Corporate Governance in China by : Bob Tricker
Download or read book Understanding Corporate Governance in China written by Bob Tricker and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China has traveled a unique road to reach its present economic significance in the world with corporate governance central to political and economic policy. In Understanding Corporate Governance in China, Bob Tricker and Gregg Li look at a variety of companies in China and the challenges they face. Based on in-depth interviews with business leaders, entrepreneurs, auditors, bankers, lawyers, and others closely involved in corporate governance in China, they argue that corporate governance involves more than company law, governance guidelines, and the rules of the stock exchanges and regulatory authorities. Culture and ethics lie at the core of corporate governance. In Chinese business these are still evolving, and business-government relations continue to change. It is vital to understand how business people and officials act in practice in China. They also explain how the regulatory framework of corporate governance in Hong Kong increases the sophistication. As more and more companies based in mainland China are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and increasingly dominate the Hong Kong market, the business worlds of China and Hong Kong become intertwined and grow together. After a brief introduction to the basic theories of corporate governance and the evolution of corporate governance in China, the book guides the reader through current issues and practices in both mainland China and Hong Kong. Topics like Chinese culture and ethics, the regulatory corporate governance framework in mainland China and Hong Kong, the function and practice of the board of directors in China, and the governance of Chinese companies abroad are covered.
