This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many Americans, capitalism is a dynamic engine of prosperity that rewards the bold, the daring, and the hardworking. But to many outside the United States, capitalism seems like an initiative that serves only to concentrate power and wealth in the hands of a few hereditary oligarchies. As A History of Corporate Governance around the World shows, neither conception is wrong. In this volume, some of the brightest minds in the field of economics present new empirical research that suggests that each side of the debate has something to offer the other. Free enterprise and well-developed financial systems are proven to produce growth in those countries that have them. But research also suggests that in some other capitalist countries, arrangements truly do concentrate corporate ownership in the hands of a few wealthy families. A History of Corporate Governance around the World provides historical studies of the patterns of corporate governance in several countries-including the large industrial economies of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States; larger developing economies like China and India; and alternative models like those of the Netherlands and Sweden.

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.

Book excerpt: Rapid economic development has focused attention from around the world upon China's corporate governance regime-particularly as, during the past few years, some of China's companies, mainly large, state-owned companies, have been aggressively buying foreign businesses overseas. China's huge capital injection and aggressive foreign investments have raised increasing and deep concerns among the target countries' governments, their business communities, and the global public. It is clearly of great importance that the people's Republic of China's business-partner countries understand corporate governance of many Chinese state-owned companies calls for a closer look at China's corporate governance theory and practice. The corporate disclosure regime plays a critical role in this regard. This timely and highly informative book provides, for the first time, comprehensive research on corporate governance in China, with detailed attention to the formation and reform of its corporate disclosure laws and regulations. Among the many factors analyzed are the following: -the role of the government in the management of state-owned companies; -the legal and regulatory environment; -majority shareholders' infringement of listed companies' interests' -the increasing independence of the boards of directors; -the role of institutional investor; -the shareholding structure; -law enforcement and shareholders' legal actions; -unmonitored insiders' control of corporate affairs; -the external governance structure; and -the absence of fiduciary duty. The author describes the nature of the many breaches of disclosure laws and rules in the two decades or so of the history of China's securities market and the pressures within the relevant government agencies confronting the problem. As a detailed analysis of the Chinese corporate disclosure regime that has emerged during the period of China's economic transition since the 1990's, this incomparable book will be of great interest to legal researchers, policymakers, and legal practitioners working with business investments in China.

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

Download or read book The Political Determinants of Corporate Governance in China written by Chenxia Shi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the key factors shaping corporate governance in China and presents a sophisticated study of corporate governance in China from a comparative and historical perspective. Drawing on extensive corporate governance literature, this book articulates why path dependence theory is the most effective framework for interpreting the development path of Chinese corporate governance. Chenxia Shi reviews the historical role of government in commercial development and regulation in dynastic China and in early corporate law-making, followed by an account of China’s legal and economic development over the last three decades. This historical inquiry identifies government control as the key feature of economic and market regulation in China. In particular, this book canvasses the evolution of governance of State-Owned Enterprises and listed companies, major corporate governance problems, regulatory challenges posed by China’s increasing participation in economic globalization, and enforcement difficulties particularly in relation to investor protection, directors’ duties and accountability. Ultimately, Political Determinants of Corporate Governance in China demonstrates that corporate governance in China is largely determined by political imperatives and those political imperatives have been shaped and re-shaped in a historical process.

Book Synopsis The History of Corporate Ownership in China by : Elisabeth Köll
Download or read book The History of Corporate Ownership in China written by Elisabeth Köll and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the emergence of corporate ownership in China from the final decades of the Qing empire in the late 19th century to the early Republican period in the 1910s and 1920s. By analyzing the actual process of incorporation, the development of the legal and financial environment, in particular the role of the state, we ask whether the top-down approach, in which the central government established a legal framework for corporate enterprise based on Western models and the assumption that it would work as it did for Western firms and markets, was a viable approach to the modernization of a financial system traditionally dominated by family businesses and economic state patronage. Using business records from turn-of-the-century Chinese corporate companies, this paper argues that the government's top-down approach, while clearly well-intentioned, created a framework which only insufficiently promoted the system of corporate capitalism in pre-war China.
