Sumario:Not since the passage of the Securities and Exchange Commission Act of 1934 have matters of corporate governance received such concentrated attention. According to the Encyclopaedia of Corporate Governance, the subject has "succeeded in attracting a good deal of public interest because of its apparent importance for the economic health of corporations and society in general." But difficulties often arise due to the scattered nature of governance issues. What exactly do we mean by corporate governance? Is there a clear-cut guide towards success? According to an article published in Corporate Governance: International Journal of Business in Society, corporate governance has in one form or the other existed in business since the birth of the limited liability form of the corporation. However, it was the pioneering work of Berle and Means that led to the development of an entire body of literature which focused on managerial expropriation of shareholder value. In this Briefing you can find out about the key issues surrounding governance and boardroom harmony.
