Corporate Governance Review of Vinashin Business Group

The argument of Berle and Means (1932) on corporate governance formed the foundation for further studies by various researchers on the trend of corporate governance. Their study revealed the possibility of creating a separation of control between the mangers who run the large size corporations and the owners who are the provider of capital. This observation of a departure and separation of ownership and control gave rise to a situation where emphasis is now focusing on the behavioural aspect and topical theory of the firm.

This was a very interesting article, in my opinion it brings to mind the derived phrase, which came first the chicken or the egg. Meaning, is corporate governance an attempt to control the results of unethical practices of corporations or is it meant to deter them. In reading this article, it is clear that certain corporations practiced unethical business behaviors for self-interest, but the questions this author have are: 1. Should corporate governance be regulated by the legislature as well as the organization and to what degree, 2. Is corporate governance, there to protect the shareholder or the stakeholder, 3. How effective is corporate governance on a global level. The need for a governance system is based on the assumption that the separation between the owners of a company and its management provides self-interest executives the opportunity to take actions that benefit themselves, with the cost of these actions borne by the owners (Larcker & Tayan, 2008).

How the latest edition (3rd) of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles plausibly halts the failure of Dick Smith Electronics will be discussed in this essay. I argue that ASX Corporate Governance Principles is one of the corporate governance practices that many listed entities in Australia should comply with in order to achieve good corporate governance preventing the collapse of corporations and increasing investors’ confidence. Regarding Dick Smith Electronics as a listed entity, it would survive and continuously operate as a biggest Australia electronic retailer if the better application of this practice is fully adopted.

Risky business: Corporate governance and risk management in the wake of the global economic crisis.

In 2004, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development published it revised Principles of Corporate Governance, initially endorsed by OECD Ministers in 1999, following comprehensive survey of how member countries addressed the different corporate governance challenges they faced. The review was supported by OECD Ministers, international organizations such as the World Bank, the private sector and non-member governments (OECD, 2004, p.11).

Corporate governance and control in Japan: can the barriers to foreign takeover activity in Japan ever be removed? Japan’s seeming impenetrability to foreign takeovers, largely due to the prevailing corporate culture and governance that allegedly hinders such takeovers, has defined business firms and companies in the last decades (Lebrun, 2001; Gerlach, 1992; Maher and Wong, 1994; Seeman, 1986; Seeman, 1987; Stern, 1998). Such barriers have gradually been buoyed down by the worldwide economic recession of the recent times- an indication that while these barriers may not be totally lifted, the prospect of reducing it is optimistic (Itoh and Vestring, 2001; Larimer, 1999; Seeman, 1986; Seeman, 1987; JETRO, 2002;). Japanese inter-corporate relationships are considered in terms of three different structures of interaction: corporate groupings, financial centrality, and industrial interdependency. Almost all decisions in Japanese business are group decisions, which require virtually unanimous support from the members of the team making the decision Foreign firms, which, to a great extent, need to acquire market shares in Japan, the nation with the world's greatest trade surplus, find their way to major acquisitions in Japan virtually blocked by Japanese customs. They face substantial barriers to acquiring Japanese companies. With Japanese PERs approaching the 100 level, most foreigners will hardly find Japanese firms a bargain. Most of the mergers and acquisitions business has
