The Antecedents Of Simultaneous Appointments To Ceo And Chair, Wallace N. Davidson Iii, Yixi Ning, David Rakowski, Eahab Elsaid
Publications
In relay succession, boards add the Chair title to successful CEOs, creating duality. Sometimes boards by-pass relay succession and appoint an individual directly into the dual position. We propose that this will occur when there is the need for an unambiguous leader and when the appointee has greater bargaining power. We show that following the firing of the predecessor, when the successor is an outsider, and when the successor is not the designated heir, the incidence of simultaneous dual appointments increases. We also find that executives appointed into the dual positions are older than those appointed only as a CEO.

Independent Directors And Board Control In Venture Finance, Brian Broughman
Independent Directors And Board Control In Venture Finance, Brian Broughman
Brian Broughman
The financial contracting literature treats control as an indivisible right held either by a firm’s entrepreneurs or by its investors. In contrast, data from VC-backed firms shows that board control is typically shared, with a third-party independent director holding the tie-breaking board seat (‘ID-arbitration’). In this article I use a bargaining game similar to final offer arbitration to model a firm’s choice of action under ID-arbitration. I show that ID-arbitration can reduce holdup by moderating each party’s ex post threat position. Consequently, ID-arbitration can lead to the efficient outcome in circumstances where alternative governance arrangements – entrepreneur control, investor control, …
Dysfunctional Deference And Board Composition: Lessons From Enron, Bernard S. Sharfman, Steven J. Toll
Dysfunctional Deference And Board Composition: Lessons From Enron, Bernard S. Sharfman, Steven J. Toll
Bernard S Sharfman
It has been over seven years since the public was first made aware that Enron (or the "Company") was a troubled firm, ultimately doomed to bankruptcy and much litigation, both civil and criminal. Yet, the Enron debacle continues to fascinate researchers and the general population alike. Over a recent one year period, the Social Science Research Network posted 71 papers that referenced Enron in their abstracts. What appears most baffling to many observers, specifically those interested in corporate governance, was the inability of the Enron board of directors to get a handle on the massive fraud that occurred under its …
An Overview Of Brazilian Corporate Governance, Bernard S. Black, Antonio Gledson De Carvalho, Érica Gorga
An Overview Of Brazilian Corporate Governance, Bernard S. Black, Antonio Gledson De Carvalho, Érica Gorga
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
We provide the first detailed picture of firm-level corporate governance practices in an emerging market. We report on the corporate governance practices of Brazilian public companies, based primarily on an extensive 2005 survey of 116 companies. Most firms have a controlling shareholder or group. Board independence is an area of weakness. The boards of most Brazilian private firms are comprised entirely or almost entirely of insiders or representatives of the controlling family or group. Many firms have no independent directors. Financial disclosure is a second area of weakness. Only a minority of firms provide a statement of cash flows or …

On Measuring The Relative Importance Of Explanatory Variables In A Logistic Regression , D. Roland Thomas, Pengcheng Zhu, Bruno D. Zumbo, Shantanu Dutta
On Measuring The Relative Importance Of Explanatory Variables In A Logistic Regression , D. Roland Thomas, Pengcheng Zhu, Bruno D. Zumbo, Shantanu Dutta
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A search is described for valid methods of assessing the importance of explanatory variables in logistic regression, motivated by earlier work on the relationship between corporate governance variables and the issuance of restricted voting shares (RSF). The methods explored are adaptations of Pratt’s (1987) approach for measuring variable importance in simple linear regression, which is based on a special partition of R2. Pseudo-R2 measures for logistic regression are briefly reviewed, and two measures are selected which can be partitioned in a manner analogous to that used by Pratt. One of these is ultimately selected for the variable …
Simultaneous Relationship Between Ownership Structure, Corporate Governance, And Firm Value In Indonesia, Kim Sung Suk
Simultaneous Relationship Between Ownership Structure, Corporate Governance, And Firm Value In Indonesia, Kim Sung Suk
The South East Asian Journal of Management
The primary objective of this study is to test the simultaneous relationship between the firm value, the corporate governance practice, and the ownership structure on a sample of 114 companies quoted in the Jakarta Stoke Exchange (JSX). The study finds that the corporate governance practice fails to affect the firm value, but the firm value is a positive predictor of corporate governance practice. Further, the influence of corporate governance practice on the firm value becomes less when the wedge of the firm becomes higher. The ownership structure and the firm value have no systematic relationship. Controlling shareholders and foreign blockholders …
A Profile Of The Non-Executive Directors Of Australia's Largest Public Companies, C. L. Cortese, G. Bowrey
A Profile Of The Non-Executive Directors Of Australia's Largest Public Companies, C. L. Cortese, G. Bowrey
Faculty of Commerce - Papers (Archive)
This paper presents a profile of the non-executive directors of Australia’s largest public companies. Using descriptive data, it assesses the extent to which these companies adhere to the requirements set down in the Australian Stock Exchange’s Principles of Good Corporate Governance. In particular, board structure and composition is evaluated, and levels of remuneration and independence among non-executive directors are assessed. The paper concludes with a discussion of the need for independence and questions whether competence, among other characteristics, is a more valuable characteristic of a non-executive director than independence.

Fiduciary Duties For Activist Shareholders, Iman Anabtawi, Lynn A. Stout
Fiduciary Duties For Activist Shareholders, Iman Anabtawi, Lynn A. Stout
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
Corporate law and scholarship generally assume that professional managers control public corporations, while shareholders play only a weak and passive role. As a result, corporate officers and directors are understood to be subject to extensive fiduciary duties, while shareholders traditionally have been thought to have far more limited obligations. Outside the contexts of controlling shareholders and closely held firms, many experts argue shareholders have no duties at all.
The most important trend in corporate governance today, however, is the move toward "shareholder democracy." Changes in financial markets, in business practice, and in corporate law have given minority shareholders in public …
Change And Continuity In Japanese Corporate Governance, Toru Yoshikawa, Jean Mcguire
Change And Continuity In Japanese Corporate Governance, Toru Yoshikawa, Jean Mcguire
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
Previous studies on Japanese corporate governance were largely based on the agency theory framework, and can be seen as attempts to understand the unique monitoring mechanisms in the Japanese context. This paper briefly reviews prior research and then discusses the recent changes in the environment that have been affecting Japanese corporate governance. Our central argument is that there is both change and continuity in Japanese Corporate Governance. We also present emerging research from an institutional theory perspective. In this line of research, corporate governance is treated as part of a nation’s institutional framework and hence, researchers need to understand unique …
Governance Structure Transforemation During Erp Implementations, Elise V. Strachan
Governance Structure Transforemation During Erp Implementations, Elise V. Strachan
Theses and Dissertations
The United States Air Force (USAF) has a number of initiatives underway to better support tomorrow’s Warfighter. As part of the Expeditionary Logistics for the 21st Century (eLog21) campaign, one of the most critical initiatives is the Expeditionary Combat Support System (ECSS). ECSS is the world’s largest enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation and will completely transform USAF logistics operations. The benefits of an ERP include centrally-managed and integrated information sharing, while the many challenges include training future state operations and employing change management. An effective governance structure is essential in order for the USAF to realize the full benefits of …

Information Security Governance And Boards Of Directors: Are They Compatible?, Endre Bihari
Information Security Governance And Boards Of Directors: Are They Compatible?, Endre Bihari
Australian Information Security Management Conference
This paper presents a critique of emergent views on the roles of the boards of directors in relation to information security. The analysis highlights several concerns about the separation and validation of proper theory and business assertions of information security at board level. New requirements articulated by industry bodies – represented by a selected group of experts and evident in literature – are compared to the underlying theory of corporate governance to identify possible discrepancies. The discussion shows in particular the importance of staying within the theoretical underpinnings of corporate governance when discussing the topic of governance in general and …

Transnational Law, Peer Zumbansen
Transnational Law, Peer Zumbansen
Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy
This chapter traces the development of the concept of Transnational Law since Philip Jessup's Storrs Lectures at Yale Law School in 1955. Jessup had famously challenged the doctrinal and conceptual boundaries of both public and private international law to suggest that another concept be more adequately suited to capture the myriad normative and transactional relations across national borders. "I shall use", Jessup wrote, "the term 'transnational law' to include all law which regulates actions or events that transcend national frontiers. Both public and private international law are included, as are other rules which do not wholly fit into such standard …
Legal Origin, Juridical Form And Industrialisation In Historical Perspective: The Case Of The Employment Contract And The Joint-Stock Company, Simon Deakin
Comparative Research in Law & Political Economy
The timing and nature of industrialization in Britain and continental Europe had significant consequences for the growth and development of labour market institutions, effects which are still felt today and which are visible in the conceptual structure of labour law and company law in different countries. However, contrary to the claims of the legal origin hypothesis, a liberal model of contract was more influential in the civilian systems of the continent than in the English common law, where the consequences of early industrialization included the lingering influence of master-servant legislation and the weak institutionalization of the juridical form of the …

The aim of this paper is to provide clues to industry and academia on how best to approach the challenge of developing a sustainable supply chain. A case study was undertaken of the Westpac Banking Corporation – one of the world's most socially responsible banks – to examine how they approached the challenge of managing corporate social responsibility (CSR) in their supply chain. This paper highlights some of the challenges and opportunities associated with extending corporate governance beyond the firm boundary. Specific attention is given to a discussion of assessment and governance tools. The use of a single case study …
