CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Corporate governance
In simple words corporate governance is a system by which a company is managed. This system includes the processes, techniques and rules to control, direct and operate the company.
Management of a company is a crucial part. There must be a strong system of corporate governance in place. A weak system can cause failure of the company.
Different practices of corporate governance exist in different organizations due to different geographical locations or due to different objectives of the firms. There are two theories which direct the corporate governance.
Shareholder theory: Under this theory the management team of the firm needs to work for common shareholders’ wealth maximization. All the activities of the firm must be consistent with shareholders wealth maximization rule.
Stakeholder theory: This theory has broad spectrum. It states that the management team of a firm should work for all stakeholders (and not just common shareholders). The stakeholders of the firm can include shareholders, board directors, creditors, customers, suppliers, employees, regulatory bodies etc.
The current trends in corporate governance depict the mix of above two theories.
Stakeholder groups
Company`s stakeholders: A company`s stakeholders are all those who have interests in the company. Different stakeholders may or may not have conflict of interests. Following are main stakeholders of a firm;
Shareholders: Shareholders provide equity capital for the firm and hold residual claims of company`s assets after payment of all liabilities. Shareholders can be individuals or institutions who own at least one share in a company. Shareholders want the company to grow so their equity increases. They are also entitled for the dividends.
Shareholders have the voting rights to elect board of directors and for major other company`s decision making process. This board of directors is the representative of shareholders in the company. Board of directors manages all the affairs of the company through senior management and other staff. So, the shareholders have great power to influence the company matters. Some shareholders have major portion of shares and can influence the elections so they are collectively called controlling shareholders. Other than controlling shareholders there are minor shareholders who have little power to control or influence the company matters.
All the payments to shareholders are made at last stage in case of liquidity of the firm or dividend announcement. Before any shareholder gets paid all the obligations must be paid.
Creditors: These are the debt providers to the company in return for interest payment plus the principal amount. The creditors have no
