This research is the research on the concept of electronic governance and its practical influence on the performance of listed companies in IBOVESPA. Are discussed in the theoretical framework the concepts of corporate governance and e-governance which are essential for the definition of electronic governance, also discusses about performance and its indicators. Goals as we seek to verify the influence of electronic governance index - IGCE indicators of economic and financial performance of companies listed on Bovespa Index for the years 2012 to 2014. In addition to identifying the key performance indicators used in the literature as well as contribute to the improvement of the theoretical construct on electronic governance. Means choosing a methodology for a quantitative approach, using the statistical method, with reference to the rate of electronic governance (IGCE), 2011, 2012 and 2013, comprising 55 practices collected on the websites of corporations listed on the Bovespa. The unit of analysis comprises the websites of the Bovespa index components companies in March 2012, 2013 and 2014 totaling 48 companies. To verify the issue addressed in the study, we used the statistical technique of regression with panel data, with the aid of Stata and SPSS software. The performance indicators used as dependent variables were the Return on Assets, Return on Equity, Net Margin, Market Value Added, Economic Value Added and Return and Beta of assets, and as the independent variable, governance index electronic corporate. After running the tests was possible to verify that the regressions with the ML variables, EVA, MVA and BETA were not statistically significant at a level of 5%, the ROA and ROE variables were statistically significant, but did not meet the assumptions of the regression model with panel data. Regression to the CAPM variable met all model assumptions with panel data, showing that the electronic corporate governance practices have a negative influence on the risk of the assets of the companies comprising the IGCE. Noting that the more electronic corporate governance practices and fuller they are deployed, the greater will be the expected return on investment and lower the risk.
Esta pesquisa consiste na investigação sobre o conceito da governança corporativa eletrônica e se suas práticas influenciam no desempenho das empresas listadas no IBOVESPA. São abordados no referencial teórico os conceitos de governança corporativa e governança eletrônica os quais são essenciais para a definição do conceito de governança corporativa eletrônica, aborda-se também sobre o desempenho e seus indicadores. Como objetivos busca-se verificar a influência do índice de governança corporativa eletrônica IGCE nos indicadores de desempenho econômico e financeiro das empresas listadas no Índice Bovespa nos anos de 2012 a 2014. Além de identificar os principais indicadores de desempenho utilizados na literatura, bem como contribuir na melhoria do constructo teórico sobre a governança corporativa eletrônica. Opta-se por uma metodologia de abordagem quantitativa, por meio do método estatístico, tendo como referência o índice de governança corporativa eletrônica (IGCE) de 2011, 2012 e 2013, sendo composto por 55 práticas coletadas nos sites das corporações listadas no Ibovespa. A unidade de análise compreende os websites das empresas componentes do Ibovespa em março de 2012, 2013 e 2014 totalizando 48 empresas. Para verificar a questão abordada no estudo, utilizou-se da técnica estatística de regressão com dados em painel, com o auxílio do software Stata e SPSS. Os indicadores de desempenho utilizados como variáveis dependentes foram a Rentabilidade sobre o Ativo, Rentabilidade sobre o Patrimônio Líquido, Margem Líquida, Valor de Mercado Adicionado, Valor Econômico Agregado e o Retorno e o Beta dos ativos, e como variável independente o, índice de governança corporativa eletrônica. Após rodar os testes foi possível averiguar que as regressões com as variáveis ML, EVA, MVA e BETA não se mostraram estatisticamente significativas a um nível de 5%, as variáveis ROA e ROE foram estatisticamente significativas, porém não atenderam aos pressupostos do modelo de regressão com dados em painel. A regressão com a variável CAPM atendeu a todos os pressupostos do modelo com dados em painel, mostrando que as práticas de governança corporativa eletrônica exercem uma influência negativa sobre o risco dos ativos das empresas que compõem o IGCE. Constatando que quanto mais práticas de governança corporativa eletrônica e mais completas elas são implantadas, maior poderá ser a expectativa de retorno sobre o investimento e menor será o risco.

The present study aimed to analyze the chances of economic and financial performance, the quality of accounting information, competitiveness, and risk to determine the Code of Best Practice of Corporate Governance for the coming fiscal year. For this purpose, the theoretical foundation approaches from the agency theory, which demonstrates the interests and the relations of the principal and the agent, to the corporate governance and its mechanisms, as well as the quality of the information and its metrics and the competitiveness. Other relevant points in this research are the non-systematic risk and the economic and financial performance of companies. The present study was performed according to the quantitative approach. To analyze the objectives of this research, logistic regression was used. In which the dependent variable refers to BM&FBOVESPA's set of more demanding corporate governance practices, the Novo Mercado. However, the temporal slice refers to the subsequent year of the companies characteristics; so the results obtained in 2016 are determinant for governance practices of 2017. The sample is composed of the companies that are listed in the Bovespa Index. The results showed statistically significant coefficients to determine the chances and the probabilities of occurring the code of practices studied. The theoretical implication evidenced refers to the prediction of practices because if it is possible to predict when companies can adopt a code of practices of corporate governance from their financial reports, one cannot ignore that governance practices are strategic decisions. The theoretical implications have also shown that it may be a mistake to not associate corporate governance practices with the internal and external characteristics of the company, that is, to use it as an independent variable to influence the others without recognizing these limitations. It can be said that corporate governance practices are as volatile as the quality of information reported to stakeholders. Moreover, assets volatility is a reflection of the returns obtained through investor expectations, and thus, corporate governance practices can be one of the means of showing investor confidence, and consequently, stabilize this volatility. The risk also arises from the degree of market competitiveness. Through the Herfindahl index, it was observed an increase in the probability of occurrence of governance practices according to the degree of market concentration. Besides, it was evidenced that when companies increase their performance, the principals tend to demand the agents' governance practices with the intention of reducing the risks. They spend resources to make sure that the results obtained are reliable through governance practices. Since agents tend to adapt their management practices according to the results obtained, either underperformance or the risk associated with the high returns that require supervision of management practices. Therefore, the dissociation governance and results from the same period are important because governance practices are about the decision that can be made between the agent and the principal in advance.
O presente estudo objetivou analisar as chances do desempenho econômico e financeiro, da qualidade da informação contábil, competitividade e risco determinarem os conjuntos de práticas de governança corporativa do próximo exercício. Para isso, a fundamentação teórica aborda desde a teoria da agência, que demonstra os interesses e as relações do principal e o agente, até a governança corporativa e seus mecanismos, bem como a qualidade da informação e suas métricas e a competitividade. Outros pontos de relevância para esta pesquisa são também o risco não sistemático e o desempenho econômico e financeiro das empresas. O presente estudo foi realizado de acordo com a abordagem quantitativa. Para analisar os objetivos dessa pesquisa foi utilizada a regressão logística, na qual a variável dependente refere-se ao conjunto de práticas de governança corporativa mais exigente da BM&FBOVESPA, o Novo Mercado. Contudo, o recorte temporal refere-se ao ano posterior das características das empresas, logo, os resultados obtidos em 2016 atuam como determinantes das práticas de governança do ano de 2017. A amostra é composta pelas empresas que compõem o Índice Bovespa. Os resultados encontrados demonstraram coeficientes estatisticamente significantes para determinar as chances e as probabilidades de ocorrer o conjunto de práticas estudado. A implicação teórica evidenciada refere-se à predição das práticas, pois se é possível predizer quando as empresas podem adotar um conjunto de práticas de governança corporativa a partir de seus relatórios financeiros, não se pode ignorar que as práticas de governanças são decisões estratégicas. As implicações teóricas também demonstraram que pode ser um equívoco não associar as práticas de governança corporativa das empresas às características internas e externas da empresa, isto é, utilizá-la como variável independente para influenciar as demais sem reconhecer essas limitações. Pode-se afirmar que os conjuntos de práticas de governança corporativa são tão voláteis quanto à qualidade das informações relatadas aos stakeholders. E ainda, a volatilidade dos ativos são reflexos dos retornos obtidos por meio das expectativas dos investidores, e assim, os conjuntos de práticas de governança corporativas podem ser uma das formas de transparecer a confiança para os investidores; e por consequência, estabilizar esta volatilidade. O risco também advém do grau de competitividade de mercado, e por meio do índice Herfindahl foi constatado o aumento na probabilidade de ocorrer práticas de governança de acordo com o grau de concentração do mercado. E ainda, foi evidenciado que quando as empresas aumentam o seu desempenho, os principais tendem a exigir as práticas de governança dos agentes com a intenção de diminuir os riscos. E despendem recursos para certificar-se que os resultados obtidos são confiáveis, por meio de práticas governança. Visto que os agentes tendem a adaptar as suas práticas de gestão de acordo com os resultados obtidos, seja por baixo desempenho, ou então, pelo risco associado aos retornos altos que exigem fiscalização das práticas de gestão. Portanto, a dissociação da governança e dos resultados obtidos do mesmo recorte temporal, é importante, pois as práticas de governança estão sobre a decisão que pode ser tomada entre o agente e o principal com antecedência.

Abstract (sommario):

A governança corporativa está associada com a tomada de decisões gerenciais internas, desempenho, controle, com direcionamento global para a organização, e, também, com a necessidade de prestação de contas para seus controladores. O Brasil avançou com o marco regulatório da Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal em 2000, definindo para a gestão pública mais responsabilidades em relação ao desempenho econômico e quanto à transparência das suas ações. Todavia, o avanço ainda é insatisfatório, suscitando, então, a questão desta pesquisa: a implementação dos princípios de governança está associada com evidências e melhorias dos resultados fiscais no setor público? Assim, o trabalho foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de estudar a governança no setor público e, especificamente, identificar a existência de práticas de governança corporativa no setor público comparativamente aos resultados fiscais. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza exploratória com estudo de 25 (vinte e cinco) municípios da Região Administrativa de Ribeirão Preto, por meio de um questionário para levantamento dos dados relativos às práticas de governança pública; do levantamento dos dados contábeis do período de 5 (cinco) anos; e posterior cruzamento entre os referidos dados coletados. A partir da confrontação das práticas de transparência e de controle utilizadas pelos municípios, observou-se que há sinais de efetividade na adoção dos princípios de governança na gestão pública municipal. A análise dos resultados financeiros demonstra coincidência no comportamento entre o nível de governança, quando aplicado, e a melhoria do desempenho fiscal dos municípios. De forma geral, no setor público municipal brasileiro, a literatura e a constatação empírica mostram que a aplicação das práticas de governança ainda é incipiente, observando-se uma heterogeneidade no quadro de governança entre os municípios brasileiros.
The corporate governance is associated with internal management decisions, performance, control, with overall direction for the organization, and also with the need for accountability to their controllers. Brazil has advanced with the regulatory framework of the Fiscal Responsibility Law in 2000, defining for the public management responsibilities in relation to economic performance and the transparency of their actions. However, progress is still unsatisfactory, raising, then the question of this research: the implementation of the principles of governance is associate with the improvement fiscal outcome in the municipal public sector? Thus, the work was to study the governance in the public sector, and specifically identify the existence of corporate governance practices in the public sector compared to fiscal results. This is an exploratory research study with 25 (twenty five) municipalities Administrative Region of Ribeirao Preto, through a questionnaire to collect data on the practices of public governance, the survey data from the accounting period 5 (five) years, and subsequent crossing of such data collected. From the comparison of the practices of transparency and control used by municipalities, it was observed that there are signs of effectiveness in the adoption of principles of municipal governance in public administration. The analysis of financial results show a coincidence in the behavior between the level of governance, when applied, and improved fiscal performance of municipalities. In general, the municipal public sector Brazilian literature and empirical observation show that the implementation of governance practices is still incipient, being observed heterogeneity in the framework of governance among municipalities.

Abstract (sommario):

A Governança da Informação (GI) é uma nova abordagem para a governança dos ativos informacionais nas organizações, resultando de desafios como o crescimento exponencial de dados, novas e mais complexas regras do negócio e de um contexto competitivo mais regulado e litigioso. O objetivo principal da pesquisa foi investigar como fatores organizacionais, relacionais e de Tecnologia da Informação (TI) podem atuar como viabilizadores, inibidores ou componentes da adoção da Governança da Informação em instituições. Alicerçada na revisão de literatura, foi feita uma pesquisa qualitativa descritiva e exploratória, baseada em vinte e um estudos de caso de empresas brasileiras escolhidas por apresentarem alta intensidade de utilização de informações em seus processos, produtos e serviços. A pesquisa apresenta como contribuições teóricas a proposta de dois modelos: uma Matriz para Comparação entre Governanças Institucionais, usada para diferenciar aspectos das Governanças Corporativa, da Informação, de TI e de Dados; e uma Matriz de Fatores Viabilizadores e Inibidores, com fatores derivados da teoria e das observações dos estudos de caso. As contribuições práticas compreendem: diferentes visões sobre o impacto dos fatores previstos em teoria, principalmente considerando-se a atuação dos entrevistados, a segmentação econômica e os portes das empresas; e fatores não previstos na teoria, como a falta de alinhamento entre TI e áreas de negócios, a cultura da empresa, os avanços da tecnologia e a gestão de mudanças. A comparação entre teoria e prática sugere maior polarização em fatores como: cultura de acumulação de dados; práticas e políticas organizacionais; comunicação entre áreas; e, educação dos usuários. Como conclusão destaca-se que a GI é entendida nas empresas como uma disciplina específica dos negócios, fundamental para atribuir sentido aos estudos empresariais e para suportar projetos e processos coerentes e eficazes.
Information Governance (IG) is a new approach to the governance of the organizational information assets, resulting from challenges such as exponential data growth, new and more complex business rules and a more regulated and litigious competitive context. The main objective of the research was to investigate how organizational, relational and Information Technology (IT) factors can act as enablers, inhibitors or components for IG adoption in companies. Supported by a literature review, an exploratory-descriptive qualitative research was carried conducted, based on 21 case studies from Brazilian companies selected by information high intensity usage in processes, products and services. The theoretical contributions of the research are two proposed models: a Matrix for Institutional Governance Comparison, to be used for differentiating Corporate, Information, IT and Data governance; and an Enablers and Inhibitors Matrix, with factors derived from theory and case studies. Practical contributions are different views from theory, especially related to the interviewee\'s professional area, industry and company size; unpredicted factors such as lack of alignment between IT and business areas, institutional culture, technology advancements and change management. The comparison between theory and practice suggests greater polarization in factors such as data accumulation mentality, organizational practices and policies, communication between areas and users education. The research concludes that IG is a business-specific discipline, fundamental to sensemaking for company studies and support to coherent and effective organizational projects and processes.

Abstract (sommario):

Quality of Government (QoG) peace is a concept gaining some traction alongside more known concepts such as the democratic peace, or liberal (capitalist) peace or the globalist/modernist peace. This study aims to uncover how perceptions of governance quality uncover variation in the number of violent and nonviolent collective and interpersonal events at the sub-national level in Nepal. National survey data is used to operationalise the mechanisms for quality of governance perceptions which are then aggregated at District level. In-country elite level interviews were also completed in order to trace the process in the causal mechanism and control for reverse causality. Results point to a strong negative effect between perceptions of governance quality and the number of events occurring. There was not, however, any causal relationship established between perceptions of governance quality and the ratio of violent to non-violent events. Instead, interviewees related the resort to violence as coming about more strongly from a committed leadership of protest movements (or lack thereof) and moves by the State to instigate violence through repressive tactics against protest events.

Abstract (sommario):

This dissertation investigates how executives engage in information technology projects and how organizational control of IT projects forms and evolves over time. It contains an in-depth account of a large, multi-year IT project in a financial company. The story of the “New Deposit System” project provides insights into the dynamics of IT projects in organizations and the challenges facing executives engaging in the governance of these complex undertakings. Several characteristics of IT projects, such as their abstract nature, technological complexity and non-repetitiveness, render several of the manager’s trusted forms of control impracticable. Even the ideal of “strong top management support” is found to be problematic: it is an extraordinary measure unlikely to translate well into regular organizational practice. What we find instead are actors in search of means and ways to exercise influence. We find control to be reciprocal and dynamic, influenced by the organization and its history, by the principles and practices of corporate IT management and by the values and norms of the IT profession. In this environment, selection of key people, evolving trust, other people’s assessments and the construction and reshaping of a project image become important parts of the managerial repertoire for IT project governance.

Context: Competitiveness is the key to a sustainable development and it demands agility at the business and organizational levels, which in turn requires a flexible and customizable Information Technology (IT) environment, as well as an effective and responsive governance in order to deliver value faster, better, and cheaper to the business. Objective: This PhD thesis describes the research conducted to analyze and better understand this context, and which result is a theory to analyze and describe agile governance (AG). We assumed that once the agile governance phenomena are better understood, by means of the mapping of their constructs, mediators, moderators and disturbing factors, this achievement can help people and organizations reach better results in their application: reducing cost and time, increasing the quality and success rate of their practice. Method: We conducted a systematic literature review about the state of the art of agile governance, together with observation and interaction on professional groups based on social networks, and semi-structured interviews with representative agents of the phenomena in study. We have applied comparative and structuralist methods of procedures and have used some techniques of Grounded Theory to synthetize the collected data. We have also formatted the emerging theory by the Dubin’s quantitative method of theory building for applied disciplines, and operationalized it for testing, by means of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results: As a result, we could offer the phenomena characterization, a convergent definition for agile governance, six meta principles, nine metavalues and a map of findings organized by topic and classified by relevance and convergence. We have developed a conceptual framework of the theory encompassing: its constructs, laws of interaction, boundaries and system states. Further, we have also operationalized the emerging theory: identifying its propositions, deriving empirical indicators from its constructs and establishing testable hypotheses to assess theory plausibility in eight theoretical scenarios, through an empirical study, by means of an explanatory survey with representative agents from phenomena under study. We had a response rate around 29.4% (obtained by the ratio of 281 responses out of 956 invitations), as well as an effective response rate around 12.3% (118 valid cases for statistical analysis, having a broad geographical coverage). The Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and SEM Analysis point out the plausibility of the theory components and hypotheses. Conclusion: The results present evidences of the theory plausibility, indicating that further studies are necessary to reach a trustworthy theory to analyze and describe the agile governance phenomena. At same time, lessons learned derived from this study, about the amplitude of the phenomena under study and the particularity of each subsample, suggest that the data collection instrument shall be tailored according to (i) each organizational context, (ii) suitable theoretical scenario, and (iii) chaos and order scale, in order to obtain more accurate data to analyze its: generalization, causality, explanation, and prediction. We expect that the emerging theory can provide some insights to understand agile governance phenomena and consequently help to achieve the necessary fluency in this area of knowledge in order to bring it to a new level, accelerating its development by scholars and practitioners. Eventually, we have made improvements and additions to the methodological approach for exploratory qualitative and quantitative studies.
Contexto: Competitividade é a chave para um desenvolvimento sustentável e isso demanda agilidade aos níveis organizacional e de negócio, o que por sua vez requer um flexível e customizável ambiente de Tecnologia da Informação (TI), bem como uma governança efetiva e responsiva com o objetivo de entregar valor mais rápido, melhor e mais barato ao negócio. Objetivo: Esta tese de doutorado descreve a pesquisa conduzida para analisar e melhor entender este contexto, e da qual resulta uma teoria para analisar e descrever governança ágil (GA). Assume-se que uma vez que os fenômenos de governança ágil são mais bem entendidos, por meio do mapeamento de suas construções, mediadores, moderadores e fatores perturbadores, esta realização pode ajudar pessoas e organizações a alcançar melhores resultados em sua aplicação: reduzindo custo e tempo, bem como aumentando a qualidade e a taxa de sucesso de sua prática. Método: Foi conduzida uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre o estado da arte da governança ágil, conjuntamente com observação e interação com grupos profissionais baseados em redes sociais, e entrevistas semiestruturadas com agentes representativos dos fenômenos em estudo. Foram aplicados métodos comparativos e estruturalistas de procedimento e utilizadas algumas técnicas de Grounded Theory para sintetizar os dados coletados. A teoria emergente foi formatada pelo método quantitativo de Dubin de construção de teorias para disciplinas aplicadas, e, operacionalizada para teste, por meio de Modelagem de Equações Estruturais (SEM). Resultados: Como resultado, pôde-se oferecer a caracterização dos fenômenos, uma convergente definição de governança ágil, seis meta-princípios, nove meta-valores e um mapa de descobertas organizado por tópico e classificado por relevância e convergência. Foi desenvolvido um framework conceitual da teoria, abrangendo: seus construtos, leis de interação, fronteiras e estados de sistema. Além disso, a teoria emergente foi também operacionalizada: identificando suas proposições, derivando os indicadores empíricos de seus construtos, e estabelecendo hipóteses testáveis para acessar a plausibilidade da teoria através de um estudo empírico, por meio de um survey explanatório com agentes representativos dos fenômenos em estudo. Obteve-se uma taxa de resposta global de 29,4% (resultando de da participação de 281 respondentes de 956 convidados), bem como uma taxa de resposta efetiva de 12,3% (resultando em 118 casos válidos para análise estatística, possuindo uma ampla cobertura geográfica internacional). Os resultados da Análise Fatorial Confirmatória (CFA) e a Análise SEM apontaram para plausibilidade da teoria, seus componentes e hipóteses. Conclusão: Os resultados apresentaram evidências da plausibilidade da teoria, indicando que estudos adicionais são necessários para alcançar uma teoria confiável para analisar e descrever os fenômenos de governança ágil. Ao mesmo tempo, lições aprendidas derivadas desta pesquisa, sobre a amplitude dos fenômenos sobre estudo e da particularidade de cada grupo amostral, sugerem que o instrumento de coleta de dados deve ser adaptado de acordo com: (i) cada contexto organizacional, (ii) cenário teórico adequado, e (iii) escala de caos e ordem, procurando obter dados mais precisos para analisar sua: generalização, causalidade, explicação dos fenômenos e previsões. Espera-se que a teoria emergente possa prover algumas introspecções para entender os fenômenos de governança ágil, e consequentemente ajudar a alcançar a fluência necessária nesta área do conhecimento, a fim de trazê-la para um novo nível, acelerando o seu desenvolvimento por estudiosos e praticantes. Eventualmente, realizamos melhorias e adições às abordagens metodológicas para pesquisas exploratórias qualitativas e quantitativas.

Abstract (sommario):

Aquesta tesi doctoral aborda essencialment la governança de les escoles primàries públiques a Togo. Tot basant-se en dades empíriques recollides en un treball de camp al país, intenta analitzar el funcionament dels comitès de gestió de les escoles primàries, òrgans de govern d’aquests centres. Conjuntament i complementàriament, la investigació analitza el paper dels directors d’escola en la governança escolar, posant l’accent en les seves diferents responsabilitats, les polítiques de contractació, les condicions en l’exercici professional i les qüestions relatives a la seva formació. La metodologia utilitzada en la realització d’aquest estudi és de tipus qualitatiu. Els resultats de la investigació són fruit de l’anàlisi d’un corpus de dades obtingut a partir d’entrevistes semiestructurades individuals i col·lectives dutes a terme principalment, amb directors d’escoles i pares d’alumnes, presidents aquests dels comitès de gestió de les escoles primàries. Aquestes entrevistes semiestructurades van ser completades amb sessions d’observació in situ i l’anàlisi de documentació oficial de Togo vinculada al tema de la investigació. Els resultats proposats, una barreja de « saber indígena » i de textos oficials, permeten comprendre en profunditat el rol que juguen les diferents parts implicades en la governança de les escoles primàries a Togo. Els comitès de gestió, òrgans d’orientació, de planificació i de presa de decisions en matèria de gestió administrativa, pedagògica i financera, estan composats per representants de l’equip docent, dels pares d’alumnes i de la comunitat local. Si els textos oficials defineixen i clarifiquen suficientment els papers i responsabilitats dels diferents membres de les instàncies de govern escolar, els resultats de la investigació posen de relleu algunes dificultats que afecten el seu funcionament. L’escassa participació de les mares i els pares de l’alumnat en les eleccions dels seus representants, així com la gestió opaca dels recursos financers, són alguns d’aquests entrebancs. Quant als directors d’escoles, figura emblemàtica de la governança escolar, són nomenats per decret ministerial. Tal i com succeeix amb el cas dels comitès de gestió de les escoles primàries, els resultats mostren la definició de les atribucions dels directors i revelen dificultats relatives a la seva contractació, formació i a les seves condicions de treball.
La presente tesis doctoral trata esencialmente de la gobernanza de las escuelas primarias públicas en Togo. Basándose en datos empíricos recogidos en un trabajo de campo realizado en este país, intenta analizar el funcionamiento de los comités de gestión de estas escuelas. Conjuntamente y de manera complementaria, la investigación aborda el papel de los directores de escuela en la gobernanza escolar, haciendo hincapié en sus distintas responsabilidades, las políticas de contratación, las condiciones en el ejercicio de sus funciones y las cuestiones relativas a su formación. La metodología utilizada en este estudio es de tipo cualitativo. Los resultados de la investigación son el fruto del análisis de un corpus de datos constituido a partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas individuales y colectivas llevadas a cabo, principalmente, con directores de escuelas y padres de alumnos, presidentes de los comités de gestión de las escuelas primarias. Estas entrevistas semiestructuradas fueron completadas por sesiones de observación in situ y por el análisis de documentación oficial de Togo relacionada con el tema de la investigación. Los resultados propuestos, una mezcla de « saber indígena » y de textos oficiales, permiten comprender en profundidad el rol desempeñado por las distintas partes implicadas en la gobernanza de las escuelas primarias en Togo. Los comités de gestión, órganos de orientación, planificación y de toma de decisiones en materia de gestión administrativa, pedagógica y financiera, están compuestos, según la normativa, por representantes del equipo docente, de los padres de alumnos y de la comunidad local. Mientras que los textos oficiales definen y clarifican con suficiencia los papeles y responsabilidades de los distintos miembros de las instancias de gobernanza escolar, los resultados de la investigación ponen sin embargo de manifiesto algunas dificultades que afectan a su funcionamiento. La escasa participación de las madres y padres del alumnado en las elecciones de sus representantes, así como la gestión opaca de los recursos financieros constituyen algunos de estos problemas. En cuanto a los directores de escuelas, figura emblemática en la gobernanza escolar, son nombrados por decreto ministerial. Tal y como ocurre con los comités de gestión de las escuelas primarias, los resultados subrayan la definición de las atribuciones de los directores y revelan dificultades relativas a su contratación, formación y a sus condiciones de trabajo.
This research is about the governance in state elementary schools in Togo, based on empirical data gathered in fieldwork across the country. It describes and analyses the operation of management committees as an organ of orientation, decision-making and management organs of these centres. It also discusses the headmaster’s role, emphasizing their responsibilities, the recruitment procedures, the exercise of its powers and matters relating to their training. The methodology used in this study is qualitative. The results of this research come from data collected from individual and collective semi-structured interviews that were completed with observations and documentary analysis. Interviews were conducted primarily to the presidents and secretaries of the management committees, parents, headmasters as well as school inspectors. The results suggested, a mixture of «traditional knowledge» and official texts, show in detail the role played by the different parties involved in the governance of elementary schools in Togo. The management committees are organs of orientation, planning and decision on administrative, financial and pedagogical topics in schools are composed of representatives of the teaching staff, parents, and local community. If the official texts adequately define and clarify the roles and responsibilities of different members of school government, the research results highlight some difficulties that affect their operation. The low participation of mothers and fathers of students in the election of their representatives, and the opaque management of financial resources, are some of these obstacles. The headmasters, emblematic figure of the school governance, are appointed by ministerial decree. As well as with the management committees of primary schools, the results show the definition of the headmasters’ attributions and reveal difficulties relating to their recruitment, training and working conditions.
Cette thèse de doctorat traite essentiellement de la gouvernance des écoles primaires publiques au Togo. S’appuyant sur de données empiriques collectées lors d’un travail de terrain réalisé dans ce pays, elle s’est attachée à analyser le fonctionnement des comités de gestion des écoles primaires, instances de gouvernance multi parties prenantes mises en place au sein de ces établissements scolaires publics du premier degré. Conjointement et de manière complémentaire, la recherche aborde la question des directeurs d’écoles dans la gouvernance scolaire, en mettant l’accent sur leurs différentes responsabilités, les politiques de leur recrutement, les conditions d’exercice de leur fonction et des questions relatives à leur formation. La méthodologie utilisée pour la réalisation de cette étude est de type qualitatif. Les résultats de la recherche sont le fruit d’analyse d’un corpus de données constitué d’entrevues semistructurées individuelles et collectives conduites principalement auprès de directeurs d’école et de parents d’élèves présidents de comités de gestion des écoles primaires. Ces entretiens semi-directifs ont été complétés par des séances d’observation in situ et par l’analyse de documents officiels du Togo en lien avec la thématique de la recherche. Les résultats proposés, un mélange de « savoir indigène » et de textes officiels, permettent de comprendre en profondeur le rôle joué par les différentes parties prenantes dans la gouvernance des écoles primaires au Togo. Les comités de gestion des écoles primaires, organes d’orientation, de planification et de prise de décision en matière de gestion administrative, pédagogique et financière, sont composés de représentants du corps enseignant, ceux des parents d’élèves et ceux de la communauté locale. Si les textes officiels définissent et clarifient avec suffisance les rôles et responsabilités des différents membres des instances de gouvernance scolaire, les résultats de la recherche mettent cependant en exergue, certaines difficultés qui affectent leur fonctionnement. La faible participation des parents aux élections de leurs représentants ainsi que la gestion opaque des ressources financières constituent quelques unes de ces difficultés. Quant aux directeurs d’école, figure emblématique dans la gouvernance scolaire, ils sont nommés par arrêté ministériel. A l’instar des comités de gestion des écoles primaires, les résultats révèlent la définition des attributions des directeurs d’école et dévoilent des difficultés relatives à leur recrutement, à leur formation et à leurs conditions de travail.

Abstract (sommario):

Os clubes de futebol profissionais brasileiros estão inseridos em um ambiente que carece de transparência e eficácia na gestão, em um contexto que exige cada vez mais profissionalização e modernização na administração dos times para fazer frente à concorrência esportiva e comercial de clubes internacionais. Dentro desse cenário, o presente trabalho apresenta uma proposta de construção de uma estrutura de governança específica para clubes profissionais, tendo sua aplicabilidade verificada em um dos times de maior impacto e alcance no futebol brasileiro (Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras). A extensa revisão da literatura permitiu a análise de propostas nacionais e internacionais e a proposição de uma estrutura básica de governança que pode ser adotada por clubes de futebol profissionais, ampliando seu potencial de retorno social, econômico, esportivo e social. O framework inclui ações, políticas e diretrizes e se apoia em quatro pilares: Participação e Democracia; Gestão, Funcionamento e Sustentabilidade; Transparência, Comunicação e Prestação de Contas; e Solidariedade e Responsabilidade Social. Na sequência, a viabilidade do modelo proposto foi analisada por meio de um estudo de caso conduzido em um dos maiores clubes do futebol brasileiro e atual campeão da primeira divisão nacional. Os conceitos apresentados contribuem para a formação de um conjunto teórico que pode orientar a discussão sobre os princípios que embasam uma estrutura de governança corporativa (GC) dos clubes de futebol profissionais. Acredita-se que a discussão desenvolvida neste trabalho amplia o debate sobre o impacto da governança como ferramenta de modernização e profissionalização administrativa no futebol e no relacionamento entre os clubes e os diversos atores do ambiente em que atuam, incluindo torcedores, associados, sócios torcedores, dirigentes, atletas, acionistas, investidores, federações, ligas, patrocinadores, mídia, sociedade e governos.
Brazilian professional soccer clubs find themselves in an environment that lacks transparency and efficiency in their management, in a context that increasingly requires professionalization and modernization in the management of clubs in order to face the sport and commercial competition with international clubs. In this regard, this work shows a proposal to build a specific governance structure for professional clubs, having its applicability confirmed in one of the clubs with a high impact and reach in the Brazilian soccer game (SociedadeEsportivaPalmeiras). The comprehensive literature review performed allowed to analyze national and international proposals and the proposition of a governance basic structure that can be adopted by professional soccer clubs, improving their potential in social, economic, and sport return. The framework of the work comprises actions, policies and guidelines that build on the following four pillars: Participation and Democracy; Management, Operation and Susteinability; Transparency, Communication and Accountability; and Solidarity and Social Responsibility. Next, the feasilibility of the proposed model was analyzed by means of a case study done in one of the major Brazilian soccer clubs and currently champion in the first national division. The concepts presented contribute to creating a theoretical set that can guide the discussion about the principles that lay the foundation of the corporate governance (CG) of professional soccer clubs. The discussion developed in this work is believed to expand the discussion about the impact of governance as a modernization tool and administrative professionalization in soccer and in the relationship between clubs and the different actors of the environment where they work, including supporters, club members, partner supporters, managers, athletes, shareholders, investors, federations, leagues, sponsors, media, society and governments.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo geral fazer uma análise crítica sobre como as práticas de governança corporativa podem contribuir para o processo de profissionalização das empresas familiares pertencentes ao agronegócio. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa empírica de caráter descritivo e abordagem qualitativa, utilizando como método o multicasos, tendo como pano de fundo casos representativos do segmento de implementos agrícolas. A pesquisa identificou os fatores facilitadores dentre os quais se destacam: necessidade de uma maior participação dos acionistas nas decisões da empresa, conflitos de interesses, conflitos de sucessão, desgaste excessivo no processo administrativo familiar e necessidade de planejamento estratégico. Dentre os fatores restritivos se destacam: dificuldade de separação de papel sócio e gestor, resistência à mudança, divergências de opiniões, questões culturais, dificuldades financeiras e escassez de gestores capacitados e confiáveis para o processo de implantação da governança corporativa no âmbito da propriedade, família e gestão das organizações estudadas. Buscou-se também elaborar um roteiro contendo os principais passos para a implantação das práticas de governança corporativa. Finalizando, concluiu-se que as práticas de governança corporativa podem, sim, atuar como catalisadores do processo de profissionalização, desde que sejam aplicadas assertivamente e de forma adaptada ao contexto de cada organização.
The main goal of this paper is to make a critical analysis on how the corporate governance practices can contribute to the process of professionalization of the agribusiness family businesses. For that purpose, an empirical research of descriptive design and qualitative approach was carried out, using a multicase study as the method, analyzing representative cases of the agricultural implements segment. The research identified the facilitating factors such as the need for greater participation of shareholders in company decisions, conflicts of interest, succession conflicts, excessive wear on family administrative processes, and need of strategic planning. Among the restrictive factors are: the difficulty in separating the roles of manager and business partner, resistance to change, divergence of opinions, cultural issues, financial difficulties and scarcity of skilled and reliable managers for the implementation process of corporate governance in what concerns property, family and management of the organizations studied. This study also aimed at elaborating a script with the main steps for the implantation of corporate governance practices. Finally, the main conclusion is that the practices of corporate governance can act as catalysts for the professionalization process provided that they are applied assertively and in an adapted way to the context of each organization.

Abstract (sommario):

This dissertation suggests that network governance theory may have reached an impasse, and in order to pursue its advance, new methods need to be used. It tests the viability of actor-network theory on providing new insights on network governance, which could contribute to the strengthening of network governance theory. The author suggests that actor-network theory may offer both an epistemology and ontology that intents to not impose current definitions and divisions of traditional social science. By doing so, actor-network theory focuses on the performance of associations rather than on the traditional categories of structures, institutions, individuals or groups — characteristic of most network governance studies.

This study tests the viability of actor-network theory in a complex international environmental policy network in the Andean Amazon. It employs Latour’s three-movement method of deployment of controversies, rendering associations traceable again, and reassembling governance. The methodological strategy provides a clean slate to search for a new perspective of network governance, which is based on participants’ perspectives. It is found that associations are established among programs, projects, public policies, among others; and that this associations seem to remain even if organizations, programs, and projects leave the network. Actor-networks’ roles in network governance appear to be not static, and their degree of affiliation ranges from formal to informal associations.

Applying actor-network theory in the study of network governance suggests that action is dislocated, and that groups are in continuous formation. Groups’ boundaries are define and redefine based on participants’ perspectives and associations. Finally, a discussion in regards to the implications of this research for both network governance and actor-network theory is offered.

The development of integration between the States provided the phenomenon of globalization, which reflects a closest relation between the various economies. The contact with the international trade and the social area creates a major concern about the advancement of global relations. The Global Governance has initiated a process of guidance the international relations among all areas (commercial, economic, technological, environmental, legal, among others). Its is guided over the premises of transparency and credibility, seeking to avoid damage to mankind, environment and internal economies of each State. From the tripod known as economy, social and environmental, emerged the concept of sustainability, which aims to guide State activities, private companies and the human being through the concept of ecodevelopment. This paper intends to develop an analysis for the concept of Corporate Governance, which is its focus through an international perspective of the application of law. Justified by the fact that the stock market is now international, since the business is composed of foreign elements or international relations that go beyond the various jurisdictions. Thus, it is examined the assumptions and formation Sustainability and Global Governance, to establish the evolution of the concept of transparency, solidarity and credibility of the activities arising from international relations between states and individuals, focusing on Corporate Governance to reach the nature and application of law. The main topic is set over the Transnormativity theory of application of law
Com a evolução da integração entre os Estados que proporcionou o fenômeno da globalização, cujo reflexo mais notório foi a proximidade entre as diversas economias, inicialmente pelo contato com o comércio internacional, e posteriormente pela área social, surgiu uma grande preocupação o avanço das relações globais. A partir da Governança Global iniciou-se um processo de direcionamento, no sentido de que as relações internacionais, quaisquer que fossem as áreas (comercial, econômica, tecnológica, ambiental, jurídica, dentre outras), pudessem ser pautadas pela premissa da transparência e credibilidade, buscando evitar prejuízos à humanidade, ao meio ambiente e às economias internas dos Estados. Diante deste tripé econômico, social e ambiental, surgiu o conceito de sustentabilidade, que visa direcionar as atividades estatais, de empresas privadas e do ser humano, definida pelo conceito do ecodesenvolvimento. O estudo evolui sua análise para o conceito de Governança Corporativa, sendo este o foco do trabalho sob uma perspectiva internacional da aplicação do Direito. Justifica-se pelo fato de que o mercado bursátil é atualmente internacional, tendo em vista que os negócios são compostos por elementos de extraneidade, ou seja, relações realizadas entre sujeitos de direito internacional que extrapolam as diversas jurisdições. Para tanto, o presente estudo analisou as premissas formadoras e os conceitos de Governança Global e Sustentabilidade, visando estabelecer a importância da evolução do conceito de transparência, solides e credibilidade das atividades surgidas de relações internacionais entre Estados e particulares, enfocando o conceito de Governança Corporativa, visando chegar à natureza e aplicação da norma. Diante disso, é estabelecido debate advindo teoria transnormativa da aplicação do Direito

Abstract (sommario):

Este estudo contribui tanto para o processo organizacional como para a literatura sobre empresas familiares. O tema se apresenta relevante quanto ao crescimento do conhecimento sobre o processo de profissionalização em empresas familiares. A medida que as empresas crescem, crescem também os desafios presentes nas empresas, e nas empresas familiares estes desafios são ainda maiores devido as questões da família, propriedade e gestão. Nesta fase, muitos proprietários reconhecem a necessidade de profissionalizar a gestão de suas empresas, isso como preparação para sua continuidade e crescimento. A profissionalização pode ser entendida como um processo na qual as empresas caminham para um processo de maior formalidade, com o desenvolvimento de organismos formais de governança e sistemas de controle. A profissionalização na empresa familiar pode representar uma grande mudança na forma de gestão. Diante disso o objetivo da pesquisa é compreender como acontece o processo de profissionalização na empresa familiar, analisando ainda a governança corporativa e seus mecanismos nessas organizações. Para tal objetivo a metodologia utilizada foi uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva de natureza predominantemente qualitativa, feita a partir do estudo de casos múltiplos. Para coletar os dados foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas com gestores das organizações escolhidas, da alta e média administração. A investigação foi realizada em duas empresas familiares, uma com sessenta anos de mercado, do setor de prestação de serviços e a outra com mais de vinte anos de mercado do setor de comércio atacadista. Os resultados mostram que a profissionalização foi motivada pelo desejo de continuidade e crescimento das empresas pesquisadas, e que a profissionalização surgiu ligada a questão do processo sucessório em uma das organizações. A Governança Corporativa pode definir regras e procedimentos para a tomada de decisão pelos agentes nessas organizações, além de monitorar e controlar a utilização dos recursos.
This study contributes to both the organizational process and to the literature on family businesses. The theme is presented as relevant to the knowledge on the management of professionalization in family businesses. As companies grow, the present challenges in businesses also grows, and in family businesses these challenges are even greater due to family issues, ownership and management. At this stage, many business owners acknowledge the need to professionalize the management of their companies, as part of its continuity and growth. Professionalization can be understood as a process in which companies move towards a more formal process, with the development of formal governance and control systems. Professionalization in a family business represents a huge change in management. Therefore, the aim of this research is to understand how the professionalization process takes part in the family business, analyzing also the governance and its mechanisms in these organizations. For this purpose the methodology used was an exploratory and descriptive research predominantly qualitative, made from the study of multiple cases. To collect the data, semi-structured interviews were conducted with managers of the chosen organizations, of high and middle management. The research was conducted in two family companies, one over sixty years, of the service sector and the other with more than twenty years, of the wholesale trade sector. The results present that professionalization was motivated by the desire for continuity and growth, and the professionalization also arises linked to the succession process in one of the organizations. Corporate Governance can define rules and procedures for decision making by agents, as well as monitor and control the use of resources.

Abstract (sommario):

A Governança de TI (GTI) tem um papel fundamental na realização do alinhamento da TI com o negócio das organizações, potencializando os processos de TI juntamente com os objetivos do negócio. Alinhar a TI ao negócio da organização é fundamental, porém é necessário também garantir o alinhamento da GTI com a Governança de Dados (GD). A GD é responsável pelo controle e gestão dos dados da organização, possibilitando a transformação de dados em informações para a tomada de decisões estratégicas. Possuir uma GTI alinhada a GD propicia um melhor desempenho para as organizações, que precisam de informações corretas em tempo hábil para a tomada de decisões. Para colaborar com este alinhamento existem os frameworks de boas práticas de gestão, que auxiliam as organizações a implantar esta governança. Este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar os processos e frameworks de GD implantados em organizações brasileiras e comparar os benefícios obtidos na implantação com os propostos pela literatura. O trabalho exploratório e qualitativo proporcionou a realização de estudos de casos em três organizações brasileiras de grande porte que implantaram ou estão em processo de implantação dos processos de GD. Os estudos de casos foram realizados com duas visões diferentes: a consultoria que implantou a GD e a organização que contratou a consultoria. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevistas e técnicas de análise de conteúdo foram aplicadas nos dados coletados. Como resultado identificou-se que para as organizações estudadas o nível de implantação dos processos de GD foi médio, entretanto o grau de obtenção dos benefícios foi alto. Isso ocorre devido à carência de GD que se encontram as organizações estudadas, bem como a grande melhoria e benefícios identificados pelos entrevistados, mesmo com uma implantação parcial da GD.
The IT Governance (ITG) has a key role in achieving the IT alignment with the business organization, empowering IT processes with business goals. Align IT with business organization is crucial, however it is also necessary to ensure the alignment of the GTI with Data Governance (DG) The DG is responsible for the control and management the organization\'s data, enabling the transformation of data into information for strategic decisions making. Have aligned DG with ITG is a better performance for organizations that need the right information in the right time for decision making. To collaborate with this alignment are the frameworks of good management practices that enable organizations implement this governance. This study aimed to identify the processes and frameworks of DG implemented in Brazilian organizations and compare the benefits achieved in the implementation with the proposed in the literature. The exploratory and qualitative study provided the realizations of case studies in three large Brazilian organizations that have implemented or are in the implementation DG process. The case studies were performed with two different views: a consultancy that implemented the DG and the organization that hired the consultancy. Data collection was conducted through interviews and content analysis techniques were applied in the data collected. As a result it was found that for organizations studied the implementation DG level was average, however the benefits degree was high. This is due to lack in DG in the organizations studied and the great improvement and benefits identified by interviewers even though with partial implementation DG.

Abstract (sommario):

A governança corporativa pode ser definida como um conjunto de mecanismos cujo objetivo é de amenizar os problemas de agência. No intuito de convergir esses mecanismos para um modelo aceito internacionalmente, a Oecd criou uma lista com seus Princípios de Governança Corporativa, adotados inicialmente por cerca de 30 países membros. A partir de então, foram promovidos encontros regionais objetivando a adaptação desses princípios à realidade sócioeconômica de determinadas regiões do planeta. Uma dessas regiões foi a América Latina, onde após os encontros ocorridos no Brasil, Argentina, México e Chile, esta Instituição formulou um documento contendo as diretrizes básicas com recomendações a respeito de práticas de governança específicos para esta região. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho busca identificar o nível de adesão de empresas latino-americanas aos princípios recomendados pela Oecd para a América Latina. Para tanto, o relatório da Oecd que expõe suas recomendações de governança foram transformadas em 49 questões, subdivididas em cinco princípios. A coleta de dados se deu em duas etapas: a primeira consistiu na confrontação dessas questões com as legislações desses quatro países. A segunda etapa confronta as questões com as práticas das empresas, de modo a identificar procedimentos adicionais em relação ao que é exigido pela legislação. Os resultados obtidos apontam que, em termos gerais, o Brasil é o país com maior nível de adesão aos princípios de governança corporativa recomendados pela Oecd, seguidos do México, Chile e Argentina. O principal ponto forte desta região são as recomendações contidas no Princípio I, que trata dos direitos dos acionistas. Por outro lado, os Princípios III, IV e V, que tratam, respectivamente, dos relacionamentos com stakeholders, evidenciação e transparência e das responsabilidades do conselho de administração, se apresentam como os principais pontos fracos.
The corporate governance can be defined as a set of mechanism in order to reduce the agency\'s problems. In the intention of converging those mechanisms for a model accept internationally, Oecd created the Principles of Corporate Governance, adopted initially for about 30 countries members. From then on, regional meetings were promoted aiming at the adaptation of those principles to the certain areas of the planet. One of those areas was Latin America, where after the encounters happened in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and Chile, this Institution formulated a document containing the basic guidelines with recommendations specifics for this region. In this context, the present work search to identify the level of adhesion of the Latin-American companies to the principles recommended by Oecd to Latin America. For this, the report of Oecd that exposes the recommendations of corporate governance were transformed in 49 subjects, subdivided in five principles. The collection of data occurred in two stages: the first consisted of the confrontation of those subjects with the legislations of those four countries. The second stage confronts the subjects with the practices of the companies, in way to identify additional practices in relation which is demanded by the legislation. The obtained results appear that, in general terms, Brazil is the country with larger level of adhesion to the principles of corporate governance recommended by Oecd, followed by Mexico, Chile and Argentina. The principal strong point of this region is the recommendations contained in Principle I, which treats of the shareholders\' rights. On the other hand, the Principles III, IV and V, which treat, respectively, of the relationships with stakeholders, disclosure and transparency and the responsibilities of the board administration, they come as the principal weak points.

Abstract (sommario):

Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--Stellenbosch University, 2008.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: With the collapse of large multi-national companies such as Enron early in the new millennium, the focus on corporate governance increased due to stakeholders and shareholders alike demanding more protection of their interests. Countries across the world developed codes and acts such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the USA, in order to establish some form of enforceable governance on publicly listed companies. In South Africa likewise the King II report on corporate governance was published in 2002. Corporate governance provides protection to stakeholders, internal and external, by focusing on the accuracy and transparency of the information published by companies, reporting the financial well-being of the company by providing projected cash flows, the responsibility and accountability of executives towards stakeholders, and also on the management of risk. Projects and project management play a major role in most companies and can have a significant effect on its cash flow, risk and reporting, and therefore corporate governance can have a marked impact on how projects could, or should be managed. This can be seen as project governance, a subset of the overall governance strategy of the company. To date not much research has been done on how governance influences projects and what is to be considered 'good project governance'. Apart from some smaller project management consulting firms, the Association for Project Management (APM) in the UK is the only one to have done some work of real importance in this area with the establishment of their 11 principles for effective project governance. In this research report the focus is on how projects are influenced by corporate governance by analysing aspects such as planning, reporting, risk management and project audits. The benefits which good project governance hold for a company, besides the protection of its stakeholder's interests, is also examined. Lastly guidelines are established for effective project governance by studying existing models, such as that created by the APM, as well as the King II report on corporate governance to try and make it more relevant to conditions in South Africa.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Met die ineenstorting van groot multinasionale instellings soos Enron vroeg in die nuwe eeu, is daar toenemend gefokus op korporatiewe beheer, omdat beide belanghebbers en aandeelhouers aangedring het op groter beskerming van hul belange. Lande wereldwyd het kodes en wette ontwikkel. soos die Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002) in die VSA, ten einde een of ander vorm van afdwingbare beheer op openbaargenoteerde maatskappye daar te stel. In Suid-Afrika ingelyks is die King II verslag oor korporatiewe beheer in 2002 gepubliseer. Korporatiewe beheer verleen beskerming aan belanghebbers, intern sowel as ekstern, deur te fokus op akkurate en deursigtige inligting wat maatskappye bekend maak, verslae oor die finansiele welstand van maatskappye deur middel van geprojekteerde kontantvloei, verantwoordelikheid en aanspreeklikheid van uitvoerende beamptes teenoor belanghebbers, asook duidelikheid oor risikobestuur. Projekte en projekbestuur speel 'n belangrike rol in die oorgrote meerderheid maatskappye en kan 'n beduidende uitwerking he op kontantvloei, risiko en verslagdoening. Juis weens hierdie oorwegings kan korporatiewe beheer 'n aanmerklike impak he op die wyse waarop projekte bestuur, of behoort bestuur te word. Dit kan beskou word as projekbeheer, 'n onderafdeling van die oorkoepelende beheerstrategie van 'n maatskappy. Min navorsing is nog gedoen oor die invloed van beheer op projekte, asook wat beskou kan word as 'goeie projekbeheer'. Afgesien van enkele kleiner projekbeheer konsultantmaatskappye, is die Association for Project Management (APM) in Brittanje die enigste wat werklik substantiewe leiding op hierdie terrein gebied het, soos blyk uit hul ontwikkeling van 11 beginsels vir doeltreffende projekbeheer. In hierdie navorsingsverslag word gefokus op hoe projekte beinvloed word deur korporatiewe beheer, deur kwessies soos beplanning, veslagdoening, risikobestuur en projekouditte te analiseer. Voordele wat goeie projekbeheer vir 'n maatskappy inhou, naas beskerming van belanghebbers se belange, word eweneens ondersoek. Enkele riglyne word laastens ontwikkel vir doeltreffende projekbeheer, deur bestaande modelle te bestudeer, soos die van APM en die King II verslag oor korporatiewe beheer, om dit meer relevant te maak vir Suid-Afrikaanse toestande.

Abstract (sommario):

The recent onslaught of corporate scandals has compelled the world to acknowledge the profound impact of corporate governance practices on the global economy. Corporate governance has become important for the survival of companies and indeed of national economies in the increasingly global economy. Corporate governance is of particular concern in developing economies, where the infusion of international investor capital and foreign aid is essential to economic stability and growth. For transition economies, such as Uganda's, which are faced with the challenge of restructuring for greater efficiency and creating a foreign investment-friendly environment, good corporate governance is crucial for success. This research highlights corporate governance initiatives in Uganda, focusing on the proposed corporate governance reforms. An analysis of the major corporate governance reforms is done including; statutory reforms, development of codes of conduct and best practice and institutional reforms. The evolution of Uganda's corporate structure and the forces driving corporate governance reform is examined. It is noted that corporations in Uganda cannot shield themselves from the global movement that is shaping standard principles governing corporations. Therefore the global principles of corporate governance are examined concerning how they can serve as models for enhancing corporate governance standards in Uganda. The analysis is based on the need to bring Uganda's corporate governance reforms in line with internationally accepted standards but considering the best interests of Uganda and its citizens.

Abstract (sommario):

Considering the effectiveness of the WTO and global governance in general as insufficient to overcome growing problems in governing a globalizing world, I pursue four objectives. By shedding light on the changes in the environment of the WTO and their implications for the working of the WTO, I first want to underpin the case for structural reforms. My second, and central, aim is to recommend a more effective structure for the WTO. Thirdly, I draw general lessons for global governance from the example of the WTO. And finally, I assess the adequacy of my innovative research design. The research design is characterized by a broad analytical framework that traces how regional integration among nation states and legalization of international institutions affect bargaining and enforcement of international agreements; additionally, it considers trends that affect the WTO. The interdisciplinary theoretical framework combines insights from the fields of international relations, international law, and international economics, and builds upon rationalist and constructivist perspectives.

Abstract (sommario):

Die Stadtentwicklungspolitik in Deutschland formuliert aufgrund veränderter Rahmenbedingungen wie dem demografischen Wandel, der Globalisierung der Wirtschaftsbeziehungen oder auch veränderter öffentlicher Finanzen, die normative Idee, Stadtquartiere durch eine intensivere Beteiligung privater Akteure zu entwickeln. Bisherige Versuche der Städtebauförderung die Einbindung privater Kleineigentümer in quartiersbezogene Handlungsansätze zu stimulieren zeigen, dass dies bislang nur unzureichend gelingt. Auf rationalen Handlungslogiken basierende Theorien sprechen im Zusammenhang der privaten Erstellung öffentlicher Güter sogar von „Marktversagen“. Und trotzdem existieren bereits erste Eigentümerstandortgemeinschaften (ESG) in Deutschland. Was ermöglichte dieses private Engagement? Angesichts fehlender empirischer Daten über freiwilliges kollektives Handeln privater Eigentümer in der Quartiers-entwicklung, geht die vorliegende Dissertation der Frage nach, welche Faktoren die Entstehung von ESG bestimmen und die institutionelle Struktur von ESG charakterisieren. Zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage wurde ein vergleichendes Fallstudiendesign mit ESG in Dortmund, Essen und Görlitz gewählt. Die Ergebnisse der Dissertation verdeutlichen, dass ESG als abhängige Variable sowohl durch die individuellen Interessen bzw. Handlungsstrategien der Immobilieneigentümer bei der Bewirtschaftung ihrer Immobilien, als auch durch den Steuerungsanspruch staatlicher Akteure in der Quartiersentwicklung bestimmt werden. Die Autorin leitet die individuellen und kollektiven Handlungsstrategien der Akteure her und setzt sich mit der individuellen Motivation zum Handeln auseinander. Zusätzlich werden grundlegende institutionelle Merkmale von ESG und ihre Eigenheit als Urban Governance-Ansatz diskutiert. Aus den als Hypothesen formulierten Ergebnissen werden abschließend Schlussfolgerungen für die Praxis sowie der weitere Forschungsbedarf abgeleitet
This PhD thesis deals with a concept of urban development which is at present in a pilot phase in Germany, the Local Property Owner Partnership (LoPOP). These are characterized by a voluntary collective development of the quarter at the initiative of the property owners. The demographic, economic and social structures lead to spatially differentiated changes which induce complex problems in urban development. Among others, this may result in a notable increase of vacant flats, an increasing demand for low-barrier flats or in investment backlogs of the public infrastructure. A large part of the up-coming investment tasks concerns private property and requires action by private property owners, e.g. in the development of living space. Attempts to activate proprietors via urban development funding have shown minor success up to now. Current urban development policy formulates the idea to reach a positive development of structurally weak quarters by a more intensified participation of private actors in collective approaches. In view of the missing of empirical data on voluntary action by private proprietors in the urban development, the PhD thesis investigates which factors determine the establishment of Local Property Owner Partnerships and characterize their institutional structure. Due to the small number of existing LoPOPs in Germany as well as to the limited number of scientific publications dealing with this subject, a comparative case study design was chosen. Fifty-six partially structured interviews were held in three heterogeneously distinctive LoPOPs in Dortmund, Essen and Görlitz. The transcribed interview data were processed by means of reconstructive content analyses and the results were formulated as hypotheses. The results of the thesis show that the subject of examination, LoPOPs, can be discussed with respect to actor-related and institutional theories as well as governance approaches. LoPOPs are defined as a dependent variable with respect to the individual interests and strategies of action of the property owners concerning their real estate management as well as to the governance requirements of state actors concerning the development of the quarter. Thereby, it has become apparent that one should make a distinction between the strategies of action of the state and the private actors. Both groups show three basic types of action strategies which have constructional and social as well as structural impacts on the quarter. The individual strategies of action of the proprietors are invest, wait and exit. With regard to the quarter, the municipal actors have the strategies develop, wait or retract at their disposal. Moreover, the data analyses discovered a path dependency between the individual management strategies of the proprietors and their action in the collective situation. The actors who are focusing on wait or on exit play the role of free riders. With regard to the proprietors who are willing to invest, three collective strategies of action may be noted: wait, individual effort and cooperation. As a central motive for choosing the collective strategy of action cooperation and, thus for commitment to participating in the LoPOP, the reduction of uncertainty could be identified. According to this, the preparedness for cooperation depends on the intensity of uncertainty in the management of the property and, thus, also on the degree of being affected by the above mentioned structural change. Whether the LoPOP is a suitable tool for the elimination of this uncertainty is closely connected with its institutional structure. LoPOPs are - taking into account the specific constellation of actors - characterized by high transaction costs, due to the low legal and social possibilities for sanctions. Therefore, a clear value of the projects and the common standards of the actors are all the more necessary for success. LoPOPs deal with the development of quarters and produce, as a private initiative, also public goods. This establishes the public interest in their development. The results of the thesis show that, due to the constellation of actors, interests and themes in voluntary LoPOPs, the state actors concentrate on the interaction form of the horizontal coordination. Therefore, LoPOPs can be referred to as a form of Urban Governance. Moreover, it becomes obvious that, when the mission statement of a voluntary, informal and private network of small proprietors shall be realised, on the one hand free riders cannot be avoided, on the other hand the public authorities are indispensable providing consulting and financial support. In comparison with traditional approaches of urban development funding, LoPOPs, as collective development approaches, need an intensive involvement of local actors in addition to the thematic debate during their preparation. The thesis terminates with conclusions for practice as well as needs for further research drawn from the generated hypotheses. The needs for further research refer inter alia to the evaluation of effects of the LoPOPs; the analysis of learning processes among the groups of actors in the development process and in the verification of the generated hypotheses in this work

Abstract (sommario):

The authors analyze the reasons for the establishment of a regulatory regime for international financial markets in accordance with the ideas of liberal internationalism. They argue that the system of international markets is affected by polymorphy, indicating the existence of different forms of regulation. Five factors produce this polymorphy: the non-existence of a homogenous object of steering, the dynamic nature of these objects, the fact that the purpose of governance is not clearly defined, the dominance of governance by the USA and Great Britain, and governance as a result of a multi-level game with various coalitions.

Abstract (sommario):

The constraints experienced by water utilities in developing countries, with regard to the universal provision of access to water and improved water services, have been defined by international policymakers as "a crisis of governance". This study departs from the theoretical perspectives on governance and aspires to accumulate knowledge and advance understanding on how the performance of water utilities can be enhanced. The thesis comprises five papers and the cover essay. Four of the papers address case studies and one is a theoretically based paper, while all five papers are supported by reviews from the literature relevant to the topic of each paper. The thesis uses insights from literature reviews mapping relevant scientific theories and concepts in the areas of mainly governance, deliberative policymaking and communicative planning, social capital, civil society and institutional theoretical perspectives. The study integrates different research methods and explores theoretical perspectives on governance to examine the governance aspects of water utilities in the transition phase from public to private management and operation. The study investigates whether the governance structure that involves the private sector in the form of Public Private Partnership (PPP) of water utility has produced "good governance" and enhanced water governance in two cases, the Lema Water Company in Amman, Jordan and the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) in Accra, Ghana. The analysis highlights evidence of governance deficiency. Accordingly, the thesis argues against the policy design that assumes that simply transferring the management and operation of water utility to private operators would resolve the problems of water utilities and enhance water governance. The analyses and the conclusions reached in the papers, together with a review of the literature on New Institutional Economics theory that knits together all the theories that are utilised in the papers, offer insights in the understanding of aspects of water governance. The insights suggest that policymakers need to better understand how institutions at different levels impact the overall performance of a water utility. The performance of the water utility cannot be detached from the wider institutional setting or reduced to simply changing the operator. What has been disregarded from the calculus of international policymakers, the thesis mainly argues, is the institutional perspective. The study concludes that actors’ performances are affected primarily by their institutional settings. The constraints of water utilities to provide a better performance and good governance processes reside in different kinds of institutional settings To address this, the thesis develops a generic institutional framework within which water governance aspects can be assessed at different institutional levels, from the higher level of politics to that of the individual level. According to this perspective, the study views governance process as "the interaction between actors from the spheres of a society within specific sets of formal and informal institutions in a social setting that produces certain political, economic and social outcomes". It defines good governance as "the legitimacy given by the wider public to institutions in a social setting and the coherency of formal and informal institutions to produce socially effective outcomes for the collective public". The developed generic institutional framework is used to more thoroughly analyse the two cases integrated in the study. This approach to assessment of water governance provides an explanation for why the water utilities were not able to meet their performance goals and enriches our understanding of water governance processes. It also modestly maps the main problematic institutional areas that in each case constrained aspects of good water governance. In practical terms, this thesis emphasises that policymakers have to map and identify the institutional factors constraining the overall performance of a water utility, at all levels. The thesis also urges policymakers to be cautious regarding which formulated policies are seen as solutions. Policymakers should restrain themselves from experimenting with policy when they are not sure that certain outcomes are likely to be produced by adopting a particular policy. In the long run, inappropriate policies may negatively affect local institutional settings and are likely to undermine the capacity of local governance.

Abstract (sommario):

Membership-based organizations perform many functions in society. Federatively organized trade unions, sports organizations, religious congregations and other voluntary or nonprofit organizations are often large, multi-level associations. In addition to performing important services these organizations are ascribed a central role in society’s governance. They are expected to enhance the voice of the citizens and to function as schools of democracy. Based on a sample of membership organizations in Sweden – among them the Red Cross, the Social-Democratic Workers’ Party and the Swedish Football Federation – this study sets out to analyze the internal governance system in this type of organizations. Basic theoretical models of human behavior – including how and why individuals choose to get involved – and of governance of organizations are elaborated in order to adapt them to a reality which is more complex than has been previously understood. A model of factors which affect involvement in governance is presented and the analysis shows that a model of membership consisting of a bundle of dimensions is useful for creating new insight into members’ participation. The results suggest that participation is complex and depends on many factors. One interesting result is that a majority of the members place an emphasis on the formal possibilities for influence in the organization. Yet, only a minority of the members actually takes part in the formal governance system, although most members seem prepared to act if they would be disappointed enough. Torbjörn Einarsson has conducted his PhD work at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) and is today a researcher at Stockholm Center for Civil Society Studies at the SSE Institute for Research.

Abstract (sommario):

Since the late nineteen nineties, corporate governance has been recognised by the Chinese leadership as being an integral and vital part of economic reform. At the macro level the reform is to transition to a market economy and at the micro level, business enterprises are adopting sound standards of corporate governance. This thesis analyses the various models: the shareholder value, the stakeholder, the stewardship and the convergence models of corporate governance. It looks at the Chinese scenario - what model of governance has China adopted and is it appropriate? What problems of corporate governance are special to China and how are these problems being resolved? Many of the problems are due to the fact that China has adopted the shareholder value model ??? a model based on the UK / USA. However, unlike them, China does not posses the requisite institutions necessary to underpin the efficient functioning of the model. The Chinese capital markets are nascent and not well regulated, the rule of law is tentative and the regulatory bodies are lacking in enforcement powers. In an effort to encourage good corporate governance, the China Securities Regulatory Commission promulgated the QFII (Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor) scheme in December 2002 in the hope that by opening the domestic securities market to foreign financial institutions, this would result in the implementation of sound corporate governance in Chinese listed companies as they vied to attract foreign shareholders. A survey was carried out and the results have only been mildly encouraging. The QFII has not had the dramatic impact that was expected of it initially and the reason is that the quotas allocated have been small and the QFII have had many restrictions placed. Until these are loosened the impact of the QFII will continue to be modest.

Abstract (sommario):

In dieser Dissertation wird die Hedgefonds-Industrie erstmals aus einer umfassenden Governanceperspektive betrachtet. Das Anreizgeflecht zwischen Hedgefonds und ihren wichtigsten Stakeholdern wird analysiert, um darzustellen, welche Interessenskonflikte zwischen Hedgefonds und ihren Stakeholdern, aber auch innerhalb der Stakeholdern-Society der Industrie existieren. Einige dieser Konflikte können das operative Risiko und somit die Kreditrisiken einzelner Fonds erhöhen und strahlen durch die verbreitete Intransparenz und die zunehmenden Ansteckungsgefahren innerhalb der Hedgefonds-Industrie auf weite Teile der Industrie ab. Diese Arbeit ergänzt die wissenschaftliche Literatur, indem erstmals die grundlegenden Interessenskonflikte der Hedgefonds-Industrie gegenüber ihren wichtigsten Stakeholdern (Investoren, Gläubigern & Gesellschaft) identifiziert, umfassend dargestellt und Lösungsansätze diskutiert werden. Zur Identifizierung und Analyse dieser grundlegenden Anreizprobleme und der daraus resultierenden Interessenskonflikte wird sich eines Datensatzes bedient, der bisher noch keine Behandlung in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur über Hedgefonds gefunden hat: Den Hedgefonds-Anklagen der U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) zwischen den Jahren 2000 und 2011. Der Blick aus der Stakeholderperspektive ermöglicht es, die Anreize, denen ein Fondsmanager oder verschiedene Stakeholder ausgesetzt sein können, besser zu verstehen, zentrale Anreizprobleme der Industrie zu identifizieren und potenzielle Lösungsansätze vor dem Hintergrund der Governancetheorie zu diskutieren. Zudem wird der Zusammenhang zwischen den Governanceproblemen und den systemischen Risiken der Hedgefonds-Industrie hergestellt. Es wird gezeigt, dass verbesserte Governancestrukturen, die transparenzerhöhend und anreizangleichend wirken, nicht ausschließlich Investoren und Gläubigern, sondern auch der Gesellschaft als zentraler Stakeholder der Industrie einen Mehrwert bringen können. Denn die Governanceprobleme, die noch immer Teile der Hedgefonds-Industrie prägen, wie immer neue und größere Betrugsskandale andeuten, zeigen auch, dass sie aus einer Governance- beziehungsweise operativen Perspektive für ihre wachsende Rolle im Finanzsystem noch nicht gerüstet zu sein scheint. Diese operativen Risiken können die Kreditrisiken vieler Fonds erhöhen und negative Auswirkungen auf systemrelevante Gläubiger haben, die im Brokerage/Depotgeschäft den Risiken einer Vielzahl von Hedgefonds ausgesetzt sein können. Im Lauf der vergangenen Dekade hat zusätzlich noch die Vernetzung innerhalb der Hedgefonds-Industrie und mit systemrelevanten Institutionen zugenommen. Daher sind nicht mehr nur die Kreditrisiken großer Fonds, sondern durch potenzielle Ansteckungsgefahren innerhalb der Industrie werden auch die Kreditrisiken kleinerer Fonds relevant, wenn diese korreliert ausfallen. So können Governanceprobleme in der Hedgefonds-Industrie durch die Erhöhung des operativen und des Kreditrisikos die systemischen Risiken der Industrie beeinflussen. Daher können durch geeignete Governancemechanismen den einzelnen Stakeholdern, der Wissenschaft sowie der Politik grundlegende Informationen und Steuerungsinstrumente zugänglich gemacht werden, die die Mess- und Steuerbarkeit von operativen Risiken erhöhen, potenzieller Überregulierung besser vorbeugen und Kredit- und systemische Risiken abschwächen.

Abstract (sommario):

This dissertation is composed by two essays that explore the changes in corporate governance around the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) 2002. In the first essay, I examine the relation between board structure and compensation as a bargaining game between the board and the CEO. Bargaining game theories describe an endogenous process of determining the structure of director and CEO compensation. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) altered the equilibrium of power between the board and CEO by changing the monitoring role of the board. SOX essentially provides a natural experiment to test how a shock to the bargaining game alters the balance of power between directors and the CEO. Using the ratio of director compensation to CEO compensation to proxy for bargaining power, I find a significant increase following the passage of SOX, consistent with directors gaining bargaining advantage. Moreover, firms with strong shareholder rights exhibit even greater evidence of power shifting to the directors. Overall, the results suggest that directors gain more power relative to the CEO in determining compensation plans and strong shareholder rights help firms to align directors' incentives with those of shareholders. In the second essay, I examine the relation between CEO compensation structure and acquirer returns. In the literature, researchers find that executive compensation structures influence corporate acquisition decisions. Equity-based executive compensation should reduce the non-value-maximizing behavior of acquiring managers. A series of corporate reforms such as SOX and the FASB expensing rule affected the structure of CEO equity-based compensation. I find a significant increase in CEO restricted stock compensation and a significant decrease in CEO option-based compensation following these reforms. I also find that CEOs with strong managerial power are more likely to receive more restricted stock in their compensation package after the 2002 reforms. Finally, I find a significant positive relation between the restricted stock compensation of acquiring firm CEOs and abnormal stock returns after 2002. This provides empirical support on the effectiveness of the shift away from options towards restricted stock in executive compensation packages. Restricted stock is associated with better merger decisions.
