Book Synopsis Corporate Governance and Directors' Independence by : Yuan Zhao
Download or read book Corporate Governance and Directors' Independence written by Yuan Zhao and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2011-06-22 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more, the agenda of corporate governance reform has been calling for a dramatic change in the composition and structure of boards of publicly traded companies, with particular criticism reserved for the role of independent directors. This timely, ground-breaking book takes a new and rigorous approach to this important issue. Investigating board independence from a distinctly original perspective, the author’s systematic analysis explores the effective interaction of such aspects as the following: What specific functions are expected of independent directors? How these functions fit with the unitary board structure? Why independent directors are seen as inherently necessary for corporate governance? Whether board independence can be compatible with other governance mechanisms? How mainstream company law is applied to independent directors. The analysis leads to a series of solutions designed to eliminate the real and perceived obstacles to the proper functioning of independent directors. In the process, the author discusses such critical ‘moments’ in corporate governance as monitoring, public relations, social responsibility, shareholder activism, the danger of ‘groupthink’, remuneration, collective liability, and codes of conduct. The discussion and analysis chart a course through which independent directors can better serve the goal of improving the system of corporate governance. As such, it will be greatly appreciated by investors, corporate counsel for institutional investors, and policymakers and academics in relevant areas of both business and law.

Book Synopsis The Independent Director in Society by : Gerry Brown
Download or read book The Independent Director in Society written by Gerry Brown and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Things will always go wrong in organisations. The question is how quickly will they get caught and put right? The problem facing every organisation today – our businesses, universities, health services, or the many other sporting and charitable institutions that shape our society – is that the relationship between their executive management and those whose job it is to oversee them (whether they are called non-executive or independent directors, trustees, or governors) has become unbalanced. The Independent Director in Society shows how to rebalance it. Based on original, in-depth research from Henley Business School, this is the first book to survey and analyse the governance crisis right across society rather than just focus upon the business sector. The authors show that – despite their many differences – all organisations have many issues, behaviours and problems in common. The same problems require, in many cases, the same solutions. Sometimes they don’t. The authors offer two answers. The first lies in the realm of policy. Not a need for more legislation, but a move to give the existing codes of practice back their teeth and make them fit for purpose. The second lies with independent directors themselves. Urgent improvement is needed in standards of thought and action as well as the calibre of these directors. Above all, directors need to develop an independent mindset that will enable them to make better, more accurate decisions. There are many elements to creating this culture, including selection, training and education for directors, and support from chairs and executive teams, but most of all directors themselves must recognise their responsibilities in a complex and volatile world.
Book Synopsis Independent Directors in Asia by : Dan W. Puchniak
Download or read book Independent Directors in Asia written by Dan W. Puchniak and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of the independent director in Asia is an issue of global consequence that has been largely overlooked until recently. Less than two decades ago, independent directors were oddities in Asia's boardrooms. Today, they are ubiquitous. Independent Directors in Asia undertakes the first detailed analysis of this phenomenon. It provides in-depth historical, contextual and comparative perspectives on the law and practice of independent directors in seven core Asian jurisdictions (China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan) and Australia. These case studies reveal the varieties of independent directors in Asia, none of which conform to its original American concept. The authors develop a taxonomy of these varieties, which provides a powerful analytical tool for more accurately understanding and effectively researching independent directors in Asia. This new approach challenges foundational aspects of comparative corporate governance practice and suggests a new path for comparative corporate governance scholarship and reform.
Book Synopsis The Independent Director by : Bill Houston
Download or read book The Independent Director written by Bill Houston and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is now generally accepted that excellence in corporate governance depends critically on the contribution of independent or nonexecutive directors. They alone among the directors can provide an entirely non-partisan view of a company's affairs." "Independent directors play an essential role in creating corporate strategy and monitoring executive performance. Those outside the company are increasingly looking to them for improved corporate governance, particularly in the wake of major failures such as Polly Peck, BCCI and the Maxwell companies." "This book is a timely response to the increasing interest in this field. It is designed both for aspiring independent directors, and for others interested in the subject such as executive directors and chairmen who will work with the independent directors in the board room. Also useful for investors, bankers, professional advisers and journalists." "Houston and Lewis provide a general overview of the subject; practical guidance and information of direct application and use; and expert views from a wide range of leading practitioners and authorities on the nature and best use of the independent director."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis The Independent Director in China and India by : Cornelius Bader
Download or read book The Independent Director in China and India written by Cornelius Bader and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2011-07-11 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, grade: A+, Vanderbilt University (Law School), language: English, abstract: The “independent director” has become a centerpiece of modern corporate governance. However, the concept of “independence”, and the ability of independent directors to fulfill their roles, remains deeply problematical. In the course of the discussion on the proper role of independent directors that unfolded in Europe and the United States during the 1980s and 1990s and peaked in the wake of the Enron scandal, rules on director independence have found their way to the corporate governance regimes of developing countries that turned their head to western economies. Particularly in China and India, independent directors have taken their place on company boards, earning mixed responses from the academic and business community. What is the current state of Indian and Chinese rules on director independence? What tensions do they address and create? And what can be done to optimize the achievement of their objectives? The goal of this article is to examine the status quo of director independence in the two countries, to put the regulations into their historic and political context, to summarize practical experiences with the new institution, and to point to possible future developments.
