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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes the links between listed family businesses and social responsibility. On the theoretical level, it establishes a relationship between socioemotional wealth, proactive stakeholder engagement, and the social responsibility of family businesses. On a practical level, our results (obtained from a sample of 363 companies) show that family businesses do not differ from non-family businesses in many dimensions of social responsibility. Moreover, family businesses have statistically significant lower ratings for four sub-dimensions of “corporate governance”, namely “balance of power and effectiveness of the Board”, “audit and control mechanisms”, “engagement with shareholders and shareholder structure”, and “executive compensation”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate Risk and Governance addresses corporate risk management and governance requirements affecting large organizations in all industry sectors and countries. The book strongly advocates implementation of Corporate Governance Codes, ISO 31000 Risk Management, ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management and PAS 200 Crisis Management but warns against treating any standard or model slavishly, as if it can offer easy salvation or a simple route to a risk nirvana. Alan Waring challenges many hallowed beliefs, attitudes and practices that continue to hamper the delivery of effective Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and thereby good governance. Those boardroom and corporate cultures that are complacent about risk exposures and risk management or, worse, encourage ’chancers’ and a ’what can we get away with’ attitude, are examined in depth along with what is required to embed a culture of responsible risk-taking. Some 75 cases from around the world provide graphic examples and lessons to be learned. Although the text includes some summary practical guidance, this book is designed primarily as a thinking aid rather than a risk management cookbook. It is something to encourage better informed risk-decision making; a more informed view of enterprise risk exposures, control and mitigation issues and an awareness of boardroom and corporate culture issues and their impact on effective ERM.

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

This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the theoretical and empirical issues relating to the interaction between corporate governance and corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities undertaken by Indian companies. It presents a highly detailed view on the evolution of CSR and its nexus with corporate governance. This is particularly timely in the context of the recent Indian Companies Act 2013, which mandates corporate social responsibility and revises the best corporate-governance practices for large companies. The findings of this study are unique in drawing from a unified framework of Indian corporate governance structure and corporate engagement in CSR. The book’s scope is both academic and practical; the research methodology developed and utilized is useful for researchers, while the implications and the selection of variables provide useful information for practitioners and stakeholders. Finally, although it focuses on large Indian companies, the findings can also be applied to research on other emerging economies.
