Corporate Governance and Corporate Control. The Market for Corporate Control in Australia by Daniel Meidl Pdf

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,7, Munich Business School University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: Particularly in the last decades the awareness of companies themselves and the public for good corporate governance increased dramatically. “Corporate governance is set to be the primary focus for the 21st” century. Most of the advanced economies have released new corporate governance rules and codes or company laws, especially as a result of the financial crisis in 2007 and the breakdown of several big companies worldwide. In Australia attention to corporate governance has grown after the „major corporate collapses and scandals of 2001 and 2002“, which included „five publicly traded (...) companies (...) [such as the] telecom company (One.Tel)“. One.Tel ran out of money and collapsed in 2001. The company could not be revived, all assets were sold and the workers laid off. It has once been the fourth largest telecom company in Australia. The collapse of the Australian company is „associated with serious deficiencies in its corporate governance, including weaknesses in internal control, (...) management communication with the board, and poor executive pay-to-performance link.“ In the first part, this paper will provide you with background information on the terms corporate governance and corporate control. The second part outlines corporate control in Australia by elaborating on the market for corporate control, monitoring by shareholders, monitoring by non-executives and renumeration.

Introduction to Corporate Governance in Australia by Gregory E. P. Shailer Pdf

As the author comments in the Introduction to this book, Corporate Governance is currently a popular topic with regulators, investors, company directors and executives, commentators and academics but this is not just a recent phenomenon. While current interest may be largely a response to major cases of company failure and managerial misconduct, many of the basic issues involved were of concern when limited liability companies were first invented and have been revisited at other times in history. This text offers a very concise introduction to the principles of corporate governance for those wishing to understand the main issues affecting corporate governance in relation to publicly traded corporations. It provides a general overview of the origins and nature of this type of corporation, its stakeholders, the general principles of governance and how they apply to corporations and a brief discussion of Australian as well as international developments that affect Australian companies. The approach adopted in An Introduction to Corporate Governance in Australia emphasises understanding the nature of the entity being governed and how the general principles of governance apply to such an entity.

The Globalization of Corporate Governance by Alan Dignam,Michael Galanis Pdf

The process of economic globalization, as product and capital markets have become increasingly integrated since WWII, has placed huge, and it is argued by some, irresistible pressures on the world's 'insider' stakeholder oriented corporate governance systems. Insider corporate governance systems in countries such as Germany, so the argument goes, should converge or be transformed by global product and capital market pressures to the 'superior' shareholder oriented 'outsider' corporate governance model prevalent in the UK and the US. What these pressures from globalization are, how they manifest themselves, whether they are likely to cause such a convergence/transformation and whether these pressures will continue, lie at the heart of the exploration in this volume. The Globalization of Corporate Governance provides a detailed analysis of the evolution of the key corporate governance systems in the UK, the US and Germany from the perspective of the development of economic globalization. As such it is a valuable resource for those interested in how economic and legal reforms interact to produce change within corporate governance systems.

Private Equity and Corporate Control Transactions by Robert P. Austin,A. F. Tuch Pdf

In the recent past we have seen an explosion of business acquisitions and proposals by private equity firms. Acquisitions by private equity globally were valued at US$800 billion in 2006, and in Australia the average deal size increased 15-fold in that year. Private equity bids for the Coles and Qantas groups, though unsuccessful, attracted particular public attention. Public criticisms about alleged lack of accountability, high gearing of acquired businesses, and a perceived threat to jobs, have generally not been supported by governmental report in several countries. In Australia the Senate Standing Committee on Economics, which reported in August 2007, concluded by majority that there was no convincing case for further regulation. Legal issues about private equity acquisitions include questions of conflicts of interest for target company executives who join the private bidding consortium in the hope of personal rewards, and issues about whether it is consistent with their fiduciary duties for the target?s directors to cooperate with the private equity bidder?s desire for an agreed acquisition. Some Australian company boards have taken contrasting approaches to the question whether to disclose to the market a private equity approach before a concrete proposal is on the table. And acute questions arise if the private equity bidder proceeds by takeover bid rather then scheme and falls short of full control. The lack of liquidity following from the crisis in global credit markets in mid-2007 has slowed down private equity activity, facilitating reflection on these important questions. They were explored at a conference held in Sydney in August 2007 under the auspices of the Supreme Court of New South Wales and the Law Society of New South Wales. This book is, in part, an edited transcript of that conference. It also contains essays by the editors on the private equity phenomenon.
