Effective corporate governance, or the set of controls and
incentives that drive top management, originates both outside and
inside the firm and assures investors who hope to commit their
capital. Essential when buying stocks in one's own country,
effective corporate governance is even more important abroad, where
information can be less reliable and investor influence (or
protection) more limited.
In this collection of articles from the "Journal of Applied
Corporate Finance," more than thirty leading scholars and
practitioners discuss the possibilities and limitations of global
corporate finance and governance systems, whether in Europe and
North America or in the emerging markets of Israel, India, Korea,
and South Africa. Essays discuss the political roots of American
corporate finance; the structural and financial variations between
international corporations; control premiums and the effectiveness
of corporate governance systems; debt, folklore, and cross-country
differences in financial structures; the driving forces behind the
East Asian Financial Crisis of 1997; corporate ownership and
control in India, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom;
financial and economic lessons of Italy's privatization program;
changes in Korean corporate governance; sovereign wealth funds; and
the new organization of Canadian business trusts. A special
roundtable discussion addresses shareholder activism in the
U.K.
