Full textAbstract:
The topic of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the meeting, incentive trips, conventions and exhibition (MICE) industry has been discussed intensively in the recent years, but is still a young field in terms of industrial practice and academic research. There are considerable environmental, social and environmental responsible initiatives implemented in the industry. These responsible organisations make efforts to maximise the benefits while minimising the negative impacts of their business conduct on the local communities. However, the level of CSR involvement of the MICE organisations is not clear and the perceptions with respect to the need to engage to CSR are indefinite across business stakeholders, such as event clients, delegates and the host communities. This urges the investigation of both CSR adoption in the industry and the influential factors of such adoption. This research aims to understand why MICE organisations, particularly the venue sector, participate in CSR adoption. The concept of CSR is first discussed in line with Carroll’s (1979) Pyramid of Corporate Social Responsibility and Wood’s (1991) Corporate Social Performance Model. Then, the relationship between CSR and the MICE industry is described in terms of sustainability, positive and negative impacts of business activities and the possible determinants of CSR adoption. With the theoretical underpinning of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TpB), a mix method is employed to answer five research questions...Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

"Workplace meetings and the silencing of women : an investigation of women and men's different communication styles and how these influence perceptions of leadership capability within Australian organisations." THESIS_XXX_XXX_Byrne_M.xml, 2004. http://handle.uws.edu.au:8081/1959.7/667.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to investigate how the distribution and function of talk in workplace meetings contributes to differential outcomes for women and men in Australian organisations. This study explores how patterns of male advantage and female disadvantage are reproduced in workplace meetings through the different communication styles which tend to be employed by men and women, and through the way that these different performances are judged. Workplace meetings emerge as a critical site where leadership potential is identified yet, it is argued, men and women do not meet as equals when they meet at work. The thesis includes an evaluation of the current literature on women's and men's communication styles, and the findings of the present study are discussed in terms of the extent to which they correlate with or diverge from existing views. The implications for social change are explored and recommendations provided for the consideration of organisations seeking to broaden the pool of talent from which future leaders are drawn.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Full textAbstract:
Corporate bodies are essential for the development of companies activities, and their minutes provide a means of evidence and proof of the deliberations and resolutions adopted therein. In certain conlict situations, the presence of a notary public is required in the meetings in order to verify the legality and validity of the resolutions adopted. This is why the General Corporations Law provides for the possibility that the notary public witnesses the general shareholders meeting, but omits it in the case of the board of directors. In this context, the amendment of article 170 of the General Corporations Law expressly incorporates the possibility of counting with the presence of a notary public in the board of directors in order to certify the authenticity of the resolutions and implement immediately the decisions adopted by both corporate bodies.Los órganos sociales son esenciales para el desarrollo de las actividades de las sociedades y sus actas constituyen un medio de constancia y prueba de las deliberaciones y acuerdos adoptados en ellos. En ciertas situaciones confictivas, se amerita la presencia de un notario en las reuniones para dejar constancia la legalidad y validez de los acuerdos adoptados. Por ello, la Ley General de Sociedades preveía la posibilidad de que el notario presencie las juntas generales de accionistas, pero lo omitía en el caso del directorio. En este contexto, la modiicación del artículo 170 de la Ley General de Sociedades incorpora de manera expresa la posibilidad de contar con la presencia de un notario en el directorio para certiicar la autenticidad de los acuerdos y poder ejecutar de inmediato las decisiones de ambos órganos sociales.

Full textAbstract:
Due to various corporate scandals and failures, there has been a renewed interest on the role of boards in the performance of firms. This thesis examines the relationship between the key board characteristics and firm performance. Unlike most studies on boards which predominantly use only financial variables affecting governance, I take a different approach by combining them with non-financial variables. This combined set of variables is used for theoretical and empirical modelling. Based on the extant literature, I develop a conceptual framework and a set of hypotheses to examine the relationship between board characteristics and firm performance. Board characteristics considered in this research include board size, director ownership, CEO duality, gender diversity, educational qualification of board members and number of board meetings. Additionally, I use board size as a moderating variable to examine how the effect of other board characteristics is contingent on board size. Firm performance is measured by return on assets. I test my hypotheses on a longitudinal sample of 156 firms over a four year period from 2004 to 2007. My sample includes all firms listed on New Zealand stock exchange as on November 2007. Empirical analysis is undertaken using Generalised Least Squares analyses. The findings of the study show that board characteristics such as board size, CEO duality and gender diversity were positively related with firm performance, where as director ownership, board meetings and the number of board members with PhD level education was found to be negatively related. Board size was found to be moderating some of these relationships, indicating the critical role being played by board size in the design and role of corporate boards. The findings also provide partial evidence to different governance theories, further indicating the need for theoretical pluralism to gain insights into boards’ functioning. The study contributes to the understanding of board-performance link by examining both the traditional variables such as board size, CEO duality, and number of board meetings as well as other organisational attributes such as gender diversity and competence variables represented by women and PhD holders, respectively. The theoretical framework and the findings of my thesis are expected to stimulate scholars for further research to identify the contingency conditions upon which the board characteristics and firm performance may be dependent.

Rickling, Maria F. "Three Essays on Corporate Governance and Meeting-Beating or Missing Analyst Forecasts." FIU Digital Commons, 2011. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/438.
Full textAbstract:
The beginning of the 21st century was plagued with unprecedented instances of corporate fraud. In an attempt to address apparent non-existent or “broken” corporate governance policies, sweeping measures of financial reporting reform ensued, having specific requirements relating to the composition of audit committees, the interaction between audit committees and external auditors, and procedures concerning auditors’ assessment of client risk. The purpose of my dissertation is to advance knowledge about “good” corporate governance by examining the association between meeting-or-beating analyst forecasts and audit fees, audit committee compensation, and audit committee tenure and “busyness”. Using regression analysis, I found the following: 1) the frequency of meeting-or-just beating (just missing) analyst forecasts is negatively (positively) associated with audit fees, 2) the extent by which a firm exceeds analysts’ forecasts is positively (negatively) associated with audit committee compensation that is predominately equity-based (cash-based), and 3) the likelihood of repeatedly meeting-or-just beating analyst forecasts is positively associated with audit committee tenure and “busyness”. These results suggest that auditors consider clients who frequently meet-or-just beat forecasts as being less “risky”, and clients that frequently just miss as being more “risky”. The results also imply that cash-based director compensation is more successful in preserving the effectiveness of the audit committee’s financial reporting oversight role, that equity-based compensation motivates independent audit committee directors to focus on short-term performance thereby aligning their interests with management, and that audit committee director tenure and the degree of director “busyness” can affect an audit committee member’s effectiveness in providing financial reporting oversight. Collectively, my dissertation provides additional insights regarding corporate governance practices and informs policy-makers for future relevant decisions.

Full textAbstract:
Realities of the modern economy require organisations to compete with creativity and innovation. Central to this is the workplace environment and the need to optimise human capital in knowledge-based business operations. Principles of corporate real estate and facilities management recognise that increasing user satisfaction and supporting user requirements can enhance workplace productivity. However, the traditional workplace investment provisions heavily concentrate on cost savings while failing to optimise the savings with potential side- effects on workplace-user satisfaction and requirements. This conflict is an area lacking research and forms the basis upon which this research is structured namely to develop a workplace-utilisation model optimising workplace occupancy-costs, user satisfaction and requirements. The study adopted a mixed methods research approach interviewing office/facilities managers and collecting workplace-user opinions from UK offices. Data analysis comprises multiple research tools including the use of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), statistical analyses, logistic regression models and occupancy-cost analysis. The combination of these tools was used to create a holistic approach to workplace utilisation, user satisfaction and requirements. The study highlighted the benefits of using AHP and cluster analysis in workplace-satisfaction assessment as the techniques can reveal the needs of workplace users to enhance office productivity on a group preference basis. The logistic regression models emphasised that drivers and barriers to fulfil user satisfaction and requirements should be carefully managed as complex relationships exist. The study also conducted scenario-based office-level analysis and found that using a user-centric workplace practice can help offices achieve better occupancy-cost saving compared to the use of existing and property-centric practices. The holistic approach led the study to propose an optimal workplace-utilisation practice where office occupancy costs and user-satisfaction level are traded-off. The study highlighted key contributions from a holistic approach to workplace practice, user satisfaction and requirements. These are firstly, using a user-centric approach is beneficial in assisting organisations achieve more efficient costs of office occupancy. Secondly, the study found that maintaining a high level of satisfaction leads to higher productivity which is important for organisations seeking to improve long-term growth through satisfaction-based performance of knowledge workers. Finally, the study emphasised the balanced approach to workplace practice by trading off user satisfaction and workplace efficiency to achieve optimal performance.

Full textAbstract:
This work is a comparative study of shareholders' powers to appoint and remove directors in the United Kingdom, United States and Germany as an internal corporate control mechanism. It highlights the entrenched positions of corporate managers in the face of shareholders' weakening powers in these systems. Having recognised the importance of shareholders' position as the contributors of corporate capital, the laws of these three systems give them the right to bring about changes in the control of companies by vesting power in the general meeting to determine the composition of corporate boards. Shareholders appoint directors to act on their behalf, the board in turn selects and monitors its executives to ensure that the interests of shareholders and other stakeholders are protected. The Anglo-American system is characterised by dispersed shareholding and management dominated boards, with the result that shareholders do not exercise their voting rights effectively. Under the German two-tier board system companies are accountable to a wide range of stakeholders and have a different structure of shareholding, where banks control the majority of shares. Despite the absence of management-dominated boards in that system the depository share system together with the practice of co-determination tend to restrict shareholders' participation in corporate control. The reality is that directors may 2 end up using certain devices to entrench themselves on the board so as to restrict the ability of shareholders to remove them. This thesis advocates a greater role for shareholders through improved opportunities for them to use their voting powers in determining the composition of their boards. It makes various recommendations in the different areas in which shareholders face difficulties in exercising these powers. It is hoped that the implementation of these suggestions will result in a system which will enable shareholders to exercise their voting powers more effectively for the purpose of controlling their companies.

The purpose of this thesis is to identify the destination site selection criteria for internationalconferences from the perspectives of the three main players of the conference industry,conference buyers (organizers and delegates) and suppliers. Additionally, the researchidentifies the strengths and weaknesses of the congress cities of Stockholm and Vienna.Through a comparison with Vienna, the top city for hosting international conferences, a roadmap for Stockholm has been designed, to strengthen its congress tourism opportunities, thus,obtaining a higher status as an international congress city. This qualitative research hascombined both primary and secondary data methods, through semi-standardized expertinterviews and secondary studies respectively, to fulfil the study’s aim. The data have beenanalysed by applying the techniques of qualitative content analysis; the secondary dataadopting an inductive approach according to Mayring (2003) while the expert interviewsusing a deductive approach according to Meuser & Nagel (2009). The conclusions of thesecondary data have been further compared and contrasted with the outcomes of the primarydata, to propose fresh discoveries, clarifications, and concepts related to the site selectioncriteria for international conferences, and for the congress tourism industry of Stockholm. Theresearch discusses the discoveries of the site selection criteria, the implications of thestrengths and weaknesses of Stockholm in comparison to Vienna, recommendations forStockholm via a road map, and future research areas in detail. The findings andrecommendation, not only provide specific steps and inceptions that Stockholm as aninternational conference city can apply, but also propose findings, which can aid conferencebuyers and suppliers to cooperate, to strengthen their marketing strategies and developsuccessful international conferences and destinations to help achieve a greater competitiveadvantage.

The assessment of the environmental and social impact of companies could be a key lever towards amore sustainable society. The aim of this report is to develop a quantitative approach based onmulti-criteria decision-making methods for organizations to conduct a corporate social responsibility materiality analysis. Through a literature review, a knowledge gap was identified on practical methods to implement a materiality analysis that meet non-financial reporting requirements.Therefore, the features of such a method were identified and a method combining analytic hierarchy process and failure modes and effects analysis was offered. The method was then used within a company in order to illustrate how the method should be applied in practice and to assess its application. The analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the relative weights of three criteria: risk, opportunity and influence on stakeholders’ assessments & decisions. Assessment scales were created for three failure modes and effects analysis indices for the criteria of risk and opportunity: severity, occurrence and control. A unique value can then be calculated for each corporate social responsibility issue in order to identify the material ones. The application of the methodology to a company underlined a few critical factors to be further investigated, in particular the quantification of the scales used for assessment and the selection of stakeholders.Bedömningen av företagens miljöpåverkan och sociala effekter kan vara en nyckelhävarm mot ett hållbart samhälle. Syftet med denna artikel är att utveckla ett kvantitativt tillvägagångssätt baserat på beslutsfattningsmetoder med flera kriterier för organisationer att utföra en väsentlighetsanalys av företagets sociala ansvar. Genom en litteraturöversikt identifierades kunskapsgap om praktiska metoder för att genomföra en väsentlighetsanalys som uppfyller icke-finansiella rapporteringskrav. Därför identifierades funktionerna i en sådan metod och en metod som kombinerar analytisk hierarkiprocess och feleffektsanalys erbjuds. Metoden användes sedan inom ett företag för att illustrera hur metoden bör tillämpas i praktiken och för att bedöma dess tillämpning. Den analytiska hierarkiprocessen användes för att bestämma de relativa vikterna för tre kriterier: risk, möjlighet och inflytande på intressenternas bedömningar och beslut. Utvärderingsskalor skapades för tre feleffektsanalysindex för kriterierna för risk och möjlighet: allvarlighetsgrad, förekomst och kontroll. Ett unikt värde kan sedan beräknas för varje företags sociala ansvar för att identifiera de materiella.Tillämpningen av metodologin på ett företag underströk några kritiska faktorer som ska undersökas ytterligare, särskilt kvantifieringen av skalorna som används för bedömning och urvalet av intressenter.

Full textAbstract:
L’activisme actionnarial en France est un phénomène relativement récent comparé aux pays anglo-saxons. Les actionnaires activistes sont de plus en plus présents dans les entreprises françaises. Leur introduction dans le capital d’une société constitue une menace pour certains dirigeants, insoucieux des normes de bonne gouvernance et privilégiant leurs intérêts au détriment de ceux des autres actionnaires. Les moyens dont disposent les actionnaires et particulièrement les actionnaires minoritaires pour exercer un contrôle sur la direction diffèrent selon les pays. Cette différence s’explique par le degré de protection des actionnaires minoritaires et la réglementation en vigueur. En France, le recours aux projets de résolution externes par les actionnaires, constitue un des moyens disponibles pour contrôler les dirigeants et les obliger à maximiser la valeur actionnariale et servir les intérêts des actionnaires. Notre thèse étudie l’impact des projets de résolution sur la performance boursière des entreprises françaises, entre 2002 et 2015 et présente les déterminants de réussite d’une résolution déposée en Assemblée GénéraleShareholder activism in France is relatively a new phenomenon compared to the Anglo-Saxons countries. Activist shareholders are increasingly present in French companies. Their introduction into the capital of a company is a threat to some managers, heedless of standards of good governance and favoring their interests over those of other shareholders. The tools used by shareholders (especially minority shareholders) to exercise control over the management are different from one country to another. This difference can be explained by the degree of protection of minority shareholders and the regulatory framework. In France, submitting an external resolution by activist shareholders, allows them to control the board of directors and force them to maximize shareholder value and serve their interests. Our study investigates the impact of proposals on the market performance of French listed companies between 2002 and 2015 and presents the determinants of success of submitting resolutions at General Annual Meetings

Esta dissertação analisa os limites e a conveniência da vinculação de administradores a acordo de acionistas. Com a promulgação da lei nº 10.303, de 31 de outubro de 2001, foram incluídos os §§ 8º e 9º, ao art. 118 da lei nº 6.404, de 15 de dezembro de 1976 (LSA), que indisputavelmente passaram a vincular os administradores de companhias aos termos dos acordos de acionistas arquivados em suas sedes. Desde então, inexiste consenso doutrinário e jurisprudencial acerca dos limites de tal vinculação. A dissertação analisa, pois, as principais posições doutrinárias que variam desde a vinculação genérica, até a vinculação relativa. A primeira é capaz de abranger todos os atos da administração; a segunda, por sua vez, limita a possibilidade de vinculação da administração apenas com relação aos atos que não sejam de sua competência privativa previstos em lei ou pelo estatuto e, ainda, preserva o poder (dever) finalístico do administrador, previsto no art. 154 da LSA, de buscar e privilegiar o interesse da companhia. A dissertação tece, ainda, diversos comentários e posicionamentos sobre a conveniência de se vincular administradores.This dissertation analyses the limits and the convenience of binding administrators to the shareholders\' agreement. With the promulgation of law nº 10,303, of October 31, 2001, §§ 8º and 9º were included to the article 118 of law nº 6,404, of December 15, 1976 (LSA), which indisputably began to bind companies administrators to the terms of the shareholder agreements filed in their headquarters. Since then, there is no consensus in the doctrine or the precedents about the limits of such binding situation. The dissertation analyses, thus, the main doctrinal positions ranging from the generic binding form until the relative one. The first is able to cover all acts of the administration; the second, on it turn, limits the possibility of binding the administration only with respect to acts that are not part of its competence provided for by law or by companies by-laws, and also preserves the finalistic power (duty) of the administrator provided for in article 154 of the LSA, of pursuing and giving priority to the companies interest. The dissertation also weaves several commentaries and positions on the desirability to bind administrators.

Full textAbstract:
Förändringen av dagens bankmarknad sker successivt, en ny form av bankkontor med digitalisering etableras samtidigt som fysiska bankkontor avvecklas. Digitaliseringen har lett till att bankerna utvecklat en ny rådgivningstjänst, onlinemöte, som innebär att banker kan erbjuda finansiell rådgivning på valfri plats. Technology acceptance model och institutionell teori är diskuterade forskningsområden men är relativt outforskade i den empiriska kontexten för finansiell rådgivning via onlinemöte. Tidigare forskning har redovisat att faktorerna företagsimage, upplevd säkerhet samt webbplatskvalitet har en påverkan på bankkunders förtroende, men framhävt faktorn förtroende som avgörande vid acceptans av online-bankingtjänster. Studiens syfte är att skapa en förståelse gällande bankkunders acceptans av den nya rådgivningstjänsten onlinemöte. Studien har en positivistisk och deduktiv ansats som tillämpats i form av hypotesprövning. En kvantitativ metod präglar studien som genomfördes med datainsamlingsmetoden internetenkät. Resultatet av studien har baserats på 118 respondenter. Studiens resultat påvisar att bankkunder framhäver faktorn förtroende betydelsefull för dess acceptans av finansiell rådgivning via onlinemöte. Faktorn förtroende förklaras ha en medierad roll genom att faktorerna upplevd säkerhet och företagsimage kan reglera bankkundernas förtroende till rådgivningstjänsten onlinemöte. Faktorerna upplevd säkerhet och företagsimage påvisas medierade av faktorn förtroendet, eftersom de inte kunde påvisas ha signifikant direkt effekt för acceptans av rådgivningstjänsten onlinemöte. En begräsning i studien har varit att endast respondenter som genomfört ett traditionellt rådgivningsmöte via ett bankkontor har studerats. Studien bidrar med ett värde till Sveriges banker eftersom studien påvisar att faktorerna är betydelsefulla att beakta vid etablering av den nya rådgivningstjänsten onlinemöte.The ongoing changes in today's banking market is taking place gradually, a new form of bank branches with digitization are established while the physical bank branch shuts down. Digitalization has led to banks developed a new financial advisory service, online meeting, which means that banks can provide their banking clients with financial advice at any location. Technology acceptance model and institutional theory are widely researched and debated research fields but have a research gap within the context of financial advice through online meeting. Previous research has identified that corporate image, perceived security and website quality has an impact on banking customers' trust, but trust is emphasizing as important for acceptance of online banking services. The purpose is to create an understanding of the banking customer’s acceptance of online meeting. The study has a positivistic and deductive approach, applied by hypothesis tests. A quantitative method characterizes the study and were conducted using an internet survey. The result of the study is based on 118 respondents. The results indicate that banking customers emphasize trust as important for the acceptance of online meetings. Trust declared a mediating role because perceived security and corporate image can regulate banking customer trust to online meetings. Trust has a mediating role because perceived security and corporate image couldn’t show a significant effect on the acceptance of online meeting. The study is limited to have researched only respondents who had completed a traditional financial advice session through a bank branch. The study contributes with value to the banks, because it can be demonstrated that these factors are important to take into account with the establishment of online meeting.

Rocher, Aurélien. "L'exercice du droit de vote dans les sociétés." Thesis, Lyon, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LYSE3077.
Full textAbstract:
Le droit de vote est la prérogative politique suprême de l’associé. Si de nombreux débats se sont intéressés à son caractère essentiel et à ses conditions d’attribution, peu de réflexions se sont concentrées sur ses modalités d’exercice. Celles-ci font pourtant l’originalité de ce droit individuel qui ne peut s’exercer que collectivement et sont déterminantes de son effectivité, lui qui ne peut se manifester qu’épisodiquement au gré des réunions de la collectivité des associés. La recherche des principes gouvernant son exercice, sujet méconnu car relevant surtout de la pratique, devrait permettre de mieux cerner sa portée. Sur le plan individuel, le principe essentiel est celui de la liberté du vote, qui peut même neutraliser partiellement les règles de son attribution, comme en cas d’abstention ou d’activisme actionnarial. Cette liberté suppose toutefois que l’intégrité du vote et son caractère éclairé soient préservés. Or il peut être altéré par des pressions extérieures, motivées par la valeur économique du droit de vote, ce qui requiert des dispositifs renforcés de protection. Sur le plan de l’organisation collective du scrutin, l’accent est mis sur l’intérêt social, justifiant la prédominance de la loi de la majorité et venant tempérer la liberté du vote. Ces règles organisationnelles, tout en garantissant le droit de participer aux décisions collectives, promeuvent une certaine loyauté du vote, notamment en sanctionnant les abus du droit de vote, et une certaine éthique du vote, comme au travers du say on pay. Cette prise en compte croissante des intérêts collectifs lors du vote invite à renouveler certaines réflexions majeures du droit des sociétés. Elle interroge en particulier sur le rôle de l’associé et sur le bien-fondé de certains principes tels que celui qui prohibe les cessions de droits de voteThe right to vote is the supreme political prerogative of shareholders. While many debates have focused on its essential nature and the conditions under which it is granted, little thought has been given to how it should be exercised. The mode of exercise makes the right to vote unusual in that it arises from an individual right which can only be exercised collectively and indeed is critical for its effectiveness since voting rights can only be utilized episodically within the framework of general meetings of shareholders. The consideration of the principles governing the exercise of voting rights, a relatively unexplored topic since most effort in this area refers to practical aspects, should clarify the impact of this mechanism. At the individual level, the freedom to vote is a key principle, which can even partially neutralize the rules of its allocation, as in the case of abstention or shareholder activism. However, this freedom presupposes that the integrity of the vote and the right to information related to it are preserved. However, these features can be altered by external pressures motivated by the economic value of voting rights, which leads to a requirement for reinforced protection measures. At the collective level of the organisation of the ballot, the emphasis is placed on corporate interests, justifying the predominance of the majority rule and tempering the freedom to vote. These organisational rules, while guaranteeing the right to participate in collective decisions, promote a certain loyalty, in particular by punishing abuses of the right to vote, and via the application of a collective ethical approach (e.g. say-on-pay). This growing influence of collective interests in the voting process invites us to reconsider certain major company law principles. In particular, questions are around the role of the shareholder and the validity of certain of those principles such as that prohibiting the sale of voting rights

Full textAbstract:
Le capital social, de par la pluralité de ses fonctions, est le théâtre de la rencontre de l'intérêt des créanciers, des actionnaires et de la société. Sa modification, réalisée à la hausse ou à la baisse, impacte corrélativement l'étendue des prérogatives dont bénéficient ces protagonistes. Si ces derniers peuvent être animés d'objectifs divergents -et doivent, en conséquence, être protégés séparément -ils s'accordent néanmoins sur la nécessité de certaines caractéristiques intrinsèques du capital social. Aussi, il n'est pas surprenant que le législateur se soit attaché à assurer la sauvegarde de leurs droits, soit chacun particulièrement, soit de manière collective. L'étude des différentes mesures de protections prévues par le droit positif révélera tantôt ses imperfections, tantôt ses lacunes et ses incohérences. Sera également mis en exergue le caractère modulable de certains dispositifs, offrant ainsi aux organes sociaux la faculté de les supprimer ou de les façonner en fonction de la vision « distributive» ou« financière» du capital social qu'ils auront arrêtée. Enfin, cette étude mettra en relief l'opportunité d'autoriser sa variabilité sans contrainte si celle-ci est limitée par deux bornes, lesquelles dessineraient le capital« autorisé »Due to the multiplicity of its functions, the share capital is the scene where the interests of creditors, shareholders and the company meet. Its modification, whether it be for amplification or reduction, has an impact which corresponds to the extent of the prerogatives which the protagonists enjoy. If the latter may have conflicting objectives -and must therefore be protected separately -they nevertheless agree on the necessity of some intrinsic features of the share capital. This is why it is not surprising that the legislator has made a point of safeguarding their rights, either on an individual basis or collectively. The study of the different protection measures provided for by the positive law sometimes reveals its imperfections, sometimes its shortcomings and its inconsistencies. The adjustable nature of some specific devices will also be highlighted, thereby providing the social organs with the right to remove or shape them according to the "distributive" or "financial" vision of the social capital they will have determined. Finally, this study will highlight whether or not to allow its variability without constraint if it is set within two bounds, which would represent the "authorized" capital

Corporate Governance hat einen radikalen Wandel in Europa seit den 1990er Jahren durchgemacht. Der Wandel ist konsolidiert und ist nun Teil des Rechts der modernen Aktiengesellschaften. Brasilianisches Recht wird immer durch die europäische Gesetzgebung inspiriert. Unsere Studie fragt, aus einer vergleichenden Sicht, ob sich das brasilianische Unternehmensrecht auf die europäische Corporate Governance bezieht. Wir konzentrieren uns in Europa auf das deutsche Recht, das englische Recht, das französische Recht und das europäische Recht. Unsere Analyse geht über die Herzen der Unternehmensführung und umfasst Teile, die dem Kapitalmarkt- und dem Umweltrecht angehören, da sie selbstverständlich auch eine Verbindung mit der Corporate Governance und dem Aktienrecht haben. Das Verständnis des Kerns der Unternehmensführung, welcher die Organisation der Verwaltungsorgane der börsennotierten Aktiengesellschaft ist, hängt von der Analyse der rechtlichen Behandlung von Neben-Themen, die aber verwandt sind, ab, wie die Regeln über die Haftung.Corporate governance has undergone a radical change in Europe since the 1990s. Change has now consolidated and is part of the company law. Brazilian law has always been inspired by European legislation. Our study asks, from a comparative perspective, if the Brazilian corporate law relates to the European corporate governance. In Europe, we focus on German law, English law, French law and Community law. Our analysis goes beyond the heart of corporate governance and includes parts of capital markets law and environmental law, because they obviously also have a connection with corporate governance and company law. The understanding of the core of corporate governance, which is the organization of administrative bodies of the listed company on a regulated market, depends on the analysis of the legal treatment of incidental subjects, but related, as the regime of liability.

In recent years, with the rise of shareholder activism in the Asia region, the consciousness of shareholder activism in Taiwan has also gradually increased. The more aggressive shareholder activism, the more pressure on the company. So, the managers will want to reduce chances that shareholders attend the annual shareholder meeting aby some methods, such as choosing the location of annual shareholder meeting. Therefore, this study will focus on the two issues, the first is the relation between the corporate governance and the location of annual shareholder meeting, and the second is the relation between the location of annual shareholder meeting and the future firm performance. In this study, the variable used to measure the impact of location on shareholders' participation is the distance (kilometers) between the location of annual shareholder meeting and the headquarters. The sample period is from 2011 to 2015 including all listed companies that has held the annual shareholder meeting in Taiwan, and the total observations are 7094. The empirical results of the first issue shows that institutional ownership and directors ownership has significant positive effect to the distance of annual shareholder meeting. The percentage of outside director has significant negative effect to the distance of annual shareholder meeting. Moreover, the results of the second issue show that there is no significant relationship between the distance of annual shareholder meeting and Tobin’s Q. But, the distance of annual shareholder meeting has significant negative effect to ROA. It means that the farther the distance of annual shareholder meeting, the lower the ROA

This study examines board meetings’ role in reducing the information gap between managers and independent directors. Using abnormal returns to insider trades as a proxy for insiders’ information level, I find no association between board meetings and the manager-director information gap for the pre-2003 period. However, in the post-2003 period, board meetings significantly increase directors’ information level relative to that of managers. I next identify that board meetings’ informational role is driven by the 2003 NASDAQ and NYSE board independence requirements. Further analyses support a causal link between board meetings and the smaller manager-director information gap post-2003. Furthermore, board meetings’ information role is more pronounced for directors who are relatively new to the firm, diverse directors, directors with outside connections, and directors sitting on certain committees. Lastly, using a subsample of firms that voluntarily disclose disaggregated information on board meetings, I find that the form of board meetings also matters: in-person board meetings reduce the manager-director information gap, while remote board meetings do not. Overall, board meetings’ informational efficacy depends on mandatory board independence, independent directors’ characteristics, and board meetings’ organizational forms.

Shareholder proposals, an important venue of shareholders activism, have been inspected mostly in the US and mentioned in other countries, Asian ones especially. This paper examines such issues in Taiwan on dividend changes from 1996 to 2011, regarding the impact of asymmetric information and agency cost on shareholder proposals of dividend changes. Logistic regression models are used and event study is utilized to explore the market response toward the announcements of shareholder proposals of dividend changes. The results show that the estimate of asymmetric information, agency cost and the firm performance on shareholder proposals of dividend changes is insignificant, while the stock price reaction is positive before the announcement of the shareholder proposals of dividend changes and negative thereafter. The scales of the corporate boards and the stock-holding percentage of the executives are significantly positive to the market’s response, but negative for the electronics industry.

Full textAbstract:
Corporate governance has received a great deal of attention because of financial scandals and corporate failures, such as with Enron, WorldCom, Global Crossing and Arthur Andersen, to name a few. Although previous studies have explored the relationship between corporate governance and financial performance, limited research exists on the effects of corporate governance on financial performance in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The main purpose of this study was to study the effects of corporate governance—comprising board characteristics and audit committee characteristics—on the financial performance of listed companies in the UAE, covering the period from 2006 to 2015. In addition, this study undertook a comparison of the changes to corporate governance practices, based on the UAE corporate governance codes, for three different periods of time between 2006 to 2007, 2009 to 2010 and 2013 to 2014. The study sample included 47 listed firms in the UAE.
This research adopted a multi-theoretic approach, incorporating agency theory and resource dependence theory, to develop a context-specific UAE corporate governance framework to guide the study. A multiple regression panel model was employed to examine the effects of corporate governance characteristics on firm financial performance. In addition, an ordinary least squaresmodel, along with analysis of variance testing, was employed to compare the effect of changes to financial performance arising from changes to the UAE corporate governance codes.
The results demonstrated that board size and board meetings had a positive relationship with financial performance, while, from an overall perspective, there was no association between board composition (independent directors) and financial performance. The variables of board members’ education and board members’ experience had an insignificant relationship with firm financial performance. With respect to audit committee characteristics, there was no significant relationship between audit committee size and firm financial performance. However, there were positive relationships between both audit committee composition and audit committee members’ education and firm financial performance. Finally, the number of audit committee meetings had an overall positive association with financial performance.
The two amendments made to the corporate governance code during the study period affected the audit and board committee characteristics, as intended by these amendments. Of these amendments, the second amendment had the most significant effect on board meetings, board members’ education, board members’ experience, audit committee meetings and audit committee members’ education.
The potential policy implications arising from the study consist of the following: (i) rationalising audit committee size to help improve firm financial performance; (ii) firms to employ directors with a more diverse skill set to enhance board effectiveness; (iii) strengthening corporate governance reporting; (iv) specifying a maximum proportion of independent board members; (v) requiring all members of the audit committee to be independent to better monitor the performance of the board; and (vi) requiring audit committee members to have a recognised qualification in finance or significant expertise in accounting and financial affairs.

A presente dissertação é um estudo de caso com o propósito de analisar a relação existente entre o crescimento do turismo de negócios e eventos e o incremento dos meios de hospedagem na cidade brasileira de Belo Horizonte.
Inicialmente, realizou-se pesquisas bibliográficas e de campo para ampliar a percepção sobre o tema. Posteriormente, foram visitados os hotéis internacionais Mercure Lourdes e Quality, e os hotéis nacionais Ouro Minas e Dom Otto. As visitas possibilitaram a comprovação dos dados colectados nas principais entidades ligadas ao sector turístico.
A análise qualitativa demonstrou que a metrópole adoptou uma estratégia focada no crescimento do turismo de negócios e eventos. Expandiram-se assim as políticas públicas, parcerias foram formadas e as associações e demais agentes ligados ao sector fortaleceram-se. Devido a focalização dos objectivos, tornou-se mais fácil encontrar investidores e mobilizar o mercado. O plano de marketing bem implementado permitiu o aumento de eventos captados e a ampliação da demanda. Consequentemente, houve a expansão da infra-estrutura para apoiar o segmento. Nesse contexto, enquadra-se o aumento dos meios de hospedagem, sobretudo a instalação de flats.
Como resultado, confirmou-se que o turismo de negócios e eventos remodelou a cidade. Foi a oportunidade encontrada pela metrópole para beneficiar-se com o fluxo internacional e atrair visitantes para uma área do interior do país. Belo Horizonte é, actualmente, a quinta cidade brasileira que mais recebe eventos internacionais. Sua oferta hoteleira é composta por, aproximadamente, 127 hotéis, que possuem cerca de dez mil unidades habitacionais.This research is a case study that analyzes the relation between business tourism´s growth and hospitality industry´s increase in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte. In order to extend the knowledge about this area, a theoretical and a practical research were developed. Subsequently, the international hotels Mercure Lourdes and Quality, and the national hotels Ouro Minas and Dom Otto were visited. During the investigation, informations collected in the main tourism’s associations were verified. Qualitative analysis showed that the city has adopted a strategy focused on business tourism´s growth. Public policies were enlarged, partnerships formed and the associations and other tourism agents strengthened. Due to the directed strategy, it became easier to find investors and congregate the trade. Correct marketing plan permitted the raise of the business travel and tourism demand. Therefore, the infrastructure expanded to support this segment. In this context, it is important to remember the hospitality industry´s improvement, especially the installation of flats. As a result, it was confirmed that business tourism transformed the city. This kind of tourism is seen as a possibility to increase international tourism demand and attract visitors to an interior country area. Currently, Belo Horizonte is the fifth Brazilian city that receives more international business meetings. Its hospitality industry is composed of, approximately, 127 hotels, with about ten thousand rooms.

Purpose: The aim of this research is to examine how it is possible to continuously
motivate managers from different departments for Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR). The goal is to investigate if and how CSR leaders can realize commitment to
CSR by conducting meetings in transformational leadership style.
Methodology: The study uses a combination of theoretical and empirical research.
Theoretical research contracts and contrasts knowledge of the areas CSR,
transformational leadership and meetings in new ways. By empirical research
qualitative and quantitative data is attained by 12 interviews with CSR leaders and
managers of 6 Australian organizations.
Findings: Transformational leadership clearly motivates managers for CSR in
meetings, because it enhances trust, understanding and commitment to CSR. All of
the transformational leadership components are relevant and leaders can enhance
them by specific behaviors. The motivational effects of various transformational
leadership elements depend on characteristics of the audience such as position,
gender, personality and experience.
Practical Implications: Leaders already apply the concepts of transformational
leadership, but it is recommended to increase its appliance for achieving optimal
motivation. For realizing commitment leaders need to be aware of different impacts of
transformational leadership elements and emphasize transformational leadership
behavior in CSR meetings adjusted to the audience.
Limitations: Despite the sample size corresponds to academic standards of
qualitative research, there are limitations regarding the investigation of the effects of
transformational leadership on different age groups, various industries, organization
types or countries.Objectivo: O intuito de este trabalho de pesquisa é o de aferir a possibilidade de motivar continuadamente administradores de vários departamentos, para factores de “Corporate Social Responsibility” (CSR). O propósito é então, investigar se e como vários lideres conseguem implementar CSR através de reuniões em estilo de liderança transformacional. Metodologia: O corrente estudo usa uma combinação de investigação empírica e teórica. Em termos teóricos, é procurado comparar e contrastar conhecimento nas áreas de CSR, liderança transformacional e novas formas de reuniões. A pesquisa empírica foca-se em 12 entrevistas com lideres em CSR e administradores de 6 organizações Australianas com o fim de recolher informação quantitativa e qualitativa. Resultados: Liderança transformacional motiva claramente administradores para aplicar CRS em reuniões, pois potencia sentimentos de confiança, compreensão e compromisso. Todos os componentes presentes na liderança transformacional são relevantes. Os efeitos de tais elementos contudo dependem das características da audiência: posição, gênero, personalidade e experiencia. Implicações Praticas: Correntemente lideres já aplicam em algum grau estes conceitos. Contudo, para atingir um ponto de motivação óptima, é necessário reforçar a aplicação de tais métodos e conceitos. Para conseguir reforçar o compromisso, lideres e administradores necessitam de ter em atenção os vários elementos da liderança transformacional e ajustar os seus comportamentos á audiência presente. Limitações: Apesar do tamanho da amostra respeitar as normas acadêmicas de estudos quantitativos, esse mesmo tamanho representa uma limitação, pois não é capaz de determinar os efeitos da liderança transformacional entre faixas etárias diferentes, industrias, tipos de organizações ou Países.

Corporate governance has become a famous doctrine, which not only affects the company's operation and development, but also affects the legal structure of company. However, it has been abused in recent years. Therefore, it is necessary to reintroduce and explain the contents, scopes, purposes, functions, and mechanisms of corporate governance. The Company Act has amended in 2018. Among all of the new provisions, Article 173-1 is the most intriguing. All the way through, shareholders and the protection of shareholders’ rights are regarded as value and standard whether on the principles of corporate governance or the legal structure of company, so we should approve that Article 173-1 is introduced. However, Article 173-1 still has some doubts based on the conflict between market surveillance and stable management right. Therefore, this study focuses on corporate governance, shareholder activism, and the analysis of Article 173-1. First, this study states the related concepts of corporate governance, the introduction of the principles of corporate governance proposed by the OECD, and the progress of Corporate Governance Roadmap, in order to understand the contents of corporate governance. Through the foregoing, highlighting the protection of shareholders’ rights and market surveillance are the part of the corporate governance. Second, this study derives the importance and function of shareholder activism, through the meaning of the shareholders' meeting and the special status of shareholders and the contents of shareholder rights as the basis. At the same time, this study states which provision in the legal structure of company have specifically adopted shareholder activism and highlights the importance of the protection of shareholders’ rights. Third, this study discusses the legislative progress of Article 173-1, explains the necessity of its legislation, introduces the provisions of other countries on the right to call for shareholders’ meeting, analyzes the constituent elements and related issues in practice of Article 173-1, and provides some suggestions. Last, this study provides further amendments to the legislative proposal through the result of above and hopes to provide effective suggestions whether on the protection of shareholders’ rights or the interpretation and the overall supporting measures of Article 173-1.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to investigate how the distribution and function of talk in workplace meetings contributes to differential outcomes for women and men in Australian organisations. This study explores how patterns of male advantage and female disadvantage are reproduced in workplace meetings through the different communication styles which tend to be employed by men and women, and through the way that these different performances are judged. Workplace meetings emerge as a critical site where leadership potential is identified yet, it is argued, men and women do not meet as equals when they meet at work. The thesis includes an evaluation of the current literature on women's and men's communication styles, and the findings of the present study are discussed in terms of the extent to which they correlate with or diverge from existing views. The implications for social change are explored and recommendations provided for the consideration of organisations seeking to broaden the pool of talent from which future leaders are drawn.

Full textAbstract:
Shareholders are important because they provide finance to companies by investing in the share market. Shareholder voting rights are attached to the shares. The rights are defined by a company’s constitution, shareholders agreement, the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and ASX Listing Rules. The exercise of the rights is significant for the growth and trustworthiness of capital markets. Previous research has focused on evaluation of the strength of shareholders rights, shareholders activism and shareholders engagement but lacked evaluation of the ways in which shareholders exercised their rights. This thesis addresses this issue. In particular, it explores shareholders economic rights, which are divided into control and decision making rights, and how shareholders exercised these rights by voting on resolutions proposed at Annual General Meetings.
The aim of this study was to empirically and legally evaluate shareholders rights in practice in ASX 200 companies during 2014-2018. The research question was: To what extent do shareholders exercise their rights in Australian listed companies, and how and to what extent does shareholders engagement with a listed company impact on corporate decision makings at AGMs?
The mixed-method methodology included both empirical quantitative and black-letter law research methodologies. The research included development of a data base of voting behaviour at the AGMs of 122 companies; 3382 AGMs resolutions including 3214 ordinary resolutions 168 special resolution were studied over the period of 5 years.
The results showed that on average 64% shareholders exercised control and decision making rights in 2014 which increased by on average 4.0633% in 2018. Moreover, on average around 30% of shareholders have not attended AGMs and have never appointed proxies. The appointment of proxy trend consistently increased since 2014 to 2018 by on average 4.7514%. The attendance of shareholders in person was on average around 2% during 2014-2018.
The top 20 shareholders hold on average 77.5865% of voting rights in 2018 which is 3.3634% higher than 2014. Further, on average 9% of top 20 shareholders have never attended AGMs and have never appointed proxies. The blockholders voting power lay between 58% and 63% during study period. The presence of top 20 shareholders and blockholders did not have any significant influence on the voting turnouts at AGMs.
The financial benefits from the issue of dividends did not have any impact on shareholders engagement and AGMs voting turnout. The relationships of shareholders engagement with election and re-election of directors were statistically significant with shareholders voting against resolutions, but the results confirm that shareholders cannot hold directors accountable at AGMs through their voting powers.
The current study supports the application of stewardship theory instead of agency theory at AGMs of ASX 200.
The policy recommendations were developed on the basis of empirical confirmations established from this study. In Australia, shareholders are powerful in theory and powerless in practice.

Because of the different environment of regulation between Taiwan and the Western countries, especially the individual investors (small stockholders) have less protection in law and regulation, so the largest stockholders often expropriate them and result in agency problem. In addition, Taiwan in recently years continuously implements the goal of improving corporate governance. Individual investors (small stockholders) can only exercise their rights in stockholder meeting, and it is also the mainly occasion that enterprises communicate with the individual investors (small stockholders). Therefore, if the stockholder meeting is held in much convenient location, the motivation of the enterprises to disclose information is strongly, and their information transparency is highly, too. Our sample includes firms listed on Taiwan’s stock market during the period of 2001 to 2007, to examine the relationship of corporate governance structure and the location of stockholder’s meeting.

The name is an important intangible asset of the corporate. But over the 1924~2000 period, on the CRSP tapes, over 30% corporates had changed corporate names. Based on the earning thresholds behavior, I examine whether executives would try to meet or beat different earning thresholds in order to attract investors’ attention. In order to investigate the effects of name change, I use the corporates which had changed names over the 1994~2006 period to be the target groups, and then pair comparison groups by the same firm size, industry, and name-changed year. The results indicate that corporates would try to sustain recent performance when using t test. On the other hand, there is no evidence for executives to exceed thresholds under pooled cross-sectional distribution approach. Finally, corporates would sustain recent performance and meet analyst’s expectations when using multivavariate logit regression and difference - in - difference methods.

From the point of view of the circumstances offering shareholders meeting souvenir, we can see that shareholders meeting souvenirs play an important role in the shareholders meeting proxy solicitation. However, there are few researches and analysis about shareholders meeting souvenir in Taiwan, and few scholars discussed what its role is like in the literature. This research mainly discusses the relationship between the value of shareholders meeting souvenir and the company holding rights. We take Taiwan Stock Exchange listed and OTC companies which had offered shareholders meeting souvenirs from 2010 to 2013 as research samples to analyze, respectively from the points of view of the percentage of shareholders owned fewer than 50 on CHEP stock, control ownership, stockholding of director and supervisor, and equity pledge, in the method of Panel Data. The results: A. The value of shareholders meeting souvenir and the percentage of shareholders owned fewer than 50 on CHEP stock, whether offer shareholders meeting souvenirs and the percentage of shareholders owned fewer than 50 on CHEP stock, the value of shareholders meeting souvenirs valued from 1~99 dollars, 100~199 dollars and the percentage shared by owned under 50 shareholders on CHEP stock are all have significant positive correlations. B. The value of shareholders meeting souvenir and control ownership, whether offer shareholders meeting souvenirs and control ownership, the value of shareholders meeting souvenirs valued from 1~99 dollars, 100~199 dollars and control ownership, the value of shareholders meeting souvenir and stockholding of director and supervisor, stockholding of director and supervisor and should offer souvenirs, the value of shareholders meeting souvenirs valued from 1~99 dollars, 100~199 dollars and stockholding of director and supervisor are all have significant negative correlations. C. The value of shareholders meeting souvenir and equity pledge, equity pledge and should offer souvenirs, shareholders meeting souvenirs valued from 100~199 dollars and more than 300 dollars and equity pledge are all have significantly positive correlations. D. The value of shareholders meeting souvenir and return on equity exist negative correlations, and whether offer souvenirs and return on equity return on equity exist significant negative correlations. Besides, souvenirs valued fewer than 299 dollars and return on equity do not exist any correlation, but there is a positive correlation between souvenirs valued more than 300 dollars and return on equity.

Varenova, D. "Stakeholder engagement and corporate social and environmental reporting : are companies meeting their accountability obligations?" Thesis, 2017. https://eprints.utas.edu.au/23931/1/Varenova_whole_thesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
The practice of corporate social and environmental (SE) reporting is adopted by many companies. The reason for such reporting varies but this study focuses on exploring the application of normative stakeholder theory. This theoretical position posits that the claims of stakeholders should be considered by management whatever the influence they may have on the ability of management to generate profit. Assuming stakeholders do require corporate SE reporting, such reporting becomes a vehicle to provide information on how these claims are fulfilled. In this way management are able to discharge their obligation to be accountable to stakeholders.
However, if management lack sufficient information about these claims or the expectations of stakeholders they may not be able to, or may not fully meet the accountability obligations that normative stakeholder theory would suggest they have. In effect the development of corporate SE reports could be assisted if it is known whether or not management are sufficiently informed of these claims, and the types of information that stakeholders are demanding. One way to explore this is to consider the nature of stakeholder engagement. This study has found there is limited research which has explored the methods adopted by management to engage with stakeholders. Equally much of the research has focused on the information needs of shareholders and other investors rather than stakeholders with non-financial interests in organisational activities.
Therefore, this study concentrates on corporate stakeholders with non-financial interests, namely NGOs operating in Australia, and their information needs with regards to a single industry, the Australian mining industry. Stakeholder engagement practices undertaken by mining companies and NGOs to explore NGOs’ information needs as well as whether the SE disclosures of mining companies then address those information needs are investigated.
The data collected by performing the content analysis of mining companies’ reports, and conducting surveys of both NGOs and mining companies as well as a small number of interviews with the representatives of NGOs, show that there is a discrepancy between the information that NGOs wish to see disclosed and what mining companies believe NGOs wish to see disclosed. In relation to the engagement undertaken by both companies and NGOs, the data shows a low level of engagement. However, when the engagement takes place, the methods adopted by both parties appear to coincide. With regards to the resultant disclosure of the social and environmental information by mining companies, the evidence supports earlier research which suggests that even after consulting stakeholders as to their information needs, they are not addressed in corporate reports.

The core issue to be explored in this study is the relationship between the corporate governance as a whole and the location of the shareholders meeting. This study uses the corporate governance evaluation system launched by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. as a main variable and discusses whether the companies that have achieved better results in the evaluation will have higher accessibility to the meeting place of the shareholders' meeting. The empirical results show that in the sample from the 2014 to 2016, the better the corporate governance mechanism scores in the evaluation, the shorter the distance between the shareholders meeting place and the nearby large railway station. Besides, the meeting place is very likely to be located in Taipei City, which is very convenient in transportation. Some of them are even companies whose headquarters are not in Taipei, but who chose Taipei as the venue for the meeting. It can be seen from this that the better the corporate governance is, the more accessible the shareholders meetings are.

Abstract According to the Company Act, to convene a regular shareholder’s meeting, a majority of the shareholders who represent more than 50% of the total number of the company’s outstanding shares shall be present. It is also regulated that a shareholder may stipulate the scope of authority in the proxy issued by the company and appoint a proxy to attend the shareholder’s meeting on his behalf. Due to the dispersion trend of ownership structure of domestic listed companies, where some mid/large-size companies with long histories have, in average, less than 20% of shareholding of board of directors, it seems reasonable for companies to rely on proxy solicitation in order to convene a shareholder’s meeting, have all proposals resolved, and elect board members. The operation of a business entity and its corporate governance are closely tied to the effectiveness of its top management. However, domestic listed companies in general are unable to separate the ownership and management, and therefore those who obtain the management become the management team of a company. As a result of relatively low shareholding held by major shareholders of domestic listed companies, lower cost of proxy solicitation than buying shares from the market, and less care about proxy rights from individual investors, major shareholders in listed companies intend to win more seats in the board via proxy solicitation in order to obtain management. For the above reasons, proxy solicitation becomes an important tool in determing management of listed companies, their operation and corporate governance. Proxy makes it possible to obtain the management of a corporate with relatively low shareholdings, resulting in asymmetry in cost and management obtained, and this might pose risks on company’s corporate governance. However, on the other hand, proxy assists convening a shareholder’s meeting, and therefore become an indispensable tool in defending the management of a corporate with honesty and integrity. With all the advantages and disadvantages, proxy is of great importance for individual corporate and overall operation of economy. The research conducts a case study on C Company with references on other listed companies to explore the impacts of proxy on management and operation of a company and its corporate governance. Pros and cons for proxy solicitation are summarized while solutions are proposed. The result of the research shows that listed companies demonstrate deep reliance on proxy. Whether or not a listed company conducts business with honesty and good faith, its major shareholder is likely to exploit the advantages to obtain unsymmetrical positions in the board in contrasts with its low shareholding. However, the performance of corporate governance afterward depends on the integrity and conscience of the management team, and actually has no direct link to proxy solicitation. Also, with the “winning betting” nature to achieve management leverage, proxy solicitation could be a possible factor for corporate mis-governance. To avoid the unfairness caused by proxy solicitation and enhance corporate governance, competent authorities must consider revising the Company Act and related laws instead of revising regulations governing proxy solicitation alone. Suggestions in this research include the following: (1) To abrogate rules in the Company Act providing that “to convene a regular shareholder’s meeting, a majority of the shareholders who represent more than 50% of the total number of the company’s outstanding shares shall be present”. (2) The number of shares present via proxy solicitation, voting right and election right shall be discounted. (3) To promote electronic voting, split of voting rights of institutional shareholders, and adoption of nomination system for the director election. (4) To change the election method of independent directors, where the new method elects the independent director based on the number of voting individual shareholders, rather than the cumulative voting shares. The suggestions are proposed to provide a reference for competent authorities. Key words: proxy, corporate governance, board election, management, electronic voting, board election nomination system
