How should companies be organised? To whom should boards of directors be responsible - shareholders, or a wider group of stakeholders? In this fiercely competitive world we cannot judge our own system of corporate governance in isolation; it must bear comparison with the best. The second edition of this book aims to do just that. Since publication of the first edition interest in corporate governance has greatly increased, codes have proliferated, and principles laid down nationally and internationally. The author describes developments in the system of corporate governance - both the business environment and the particular structures of company organisation - in five major industrial countries: Germany, Japan, France, the USA, and the UK. This second edition is fully revised, updated and expanded, and includes a new conclusion looking at a number of ongoing issues in corporate governance, and an appendix discussing the role of international organisations.

The book analyzes and assesses corporate restructuring and governance in transition countries focusing on the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Russia and the core issues for these countries in transformation into competitive market economies. Unlike other contributions to the literature on this subject, this book consists of comprehensive studies based on original materials and publications in local languages. It also gives a prominent role to the interplay of formal and informal processes within corporate governance and restructuring, paying due attention to unwanted and unforeseen consequences and highlights the nature and reasons of the divergent paths of the different corporate governance systems.

This report assesses Poland's corporate governance policy framework, and its enforcement and compliance practices. It highlights recent improvements in corporate governance regulation, makes policy recommendations, and provides investors with a benchmark against which to measure corporate governance in Poland. The report updates the corporate governance ROSC carried out in 2001. Since the previous assessment, Poland has adopted new legislation, effectively promulgated a corporate governance code, and continued to develop strong regulatory and enforcement institutions. These improvements have resulted in a corporate governance framework that complies with many of the OECD Principles. The report identifies several potential problems and remedies, including: 1. insufficient regulation of the corporate governance activities of the pension funds; 2. weakness of the supervisory board; 3. problems in the delisting / squeeze-out process; and 4. insufficient approvals of related party transactions. This report also includes two detailed analyses of special policy topics: Annex 1 is an analysis of the Warsaw Stock Exchange Best Practices Code and options for compliance, and Annex 2 is an assessment of the corporate governance issues of state owned enterprises.
