proxy statement – All nominees are usually elected

75% of boards have at least 1 female director
25% of boards have two female directors 60% of boards have at least one minority
member

– the desires or goals of the principal and agent the desires or goals of the principal and agent conflict and it is difficult or expensive for the conflict and it is difficult or expensive for the principal to verify that the agent has behaved principal to verify that the agent has behaved appropriatelyappropriately
Solution:Solution:– principals engage in incentive-based principals engage in incentive-based
performance contractsperformance contracts– monitoring mechanisms such as the board of monitoring mechanisms such as the board of
directorsdirectors– enforcement mechanisms such as the managerial enforcement mechanisms such as the managerial
labor market to mitigate the agency problemlabor market to mitigate the agency problem
Stewardship Theory
Executives tend to be more motivated to act in the best interest of the corporation than their own self-interests.
Theory argues that over time, senior executives tend to view the corporation as an extension of themselves.
Codetermination– The inclusion of a corporation’s
workers on its board of directors.
Board of Directors
Interlocking Directorates
Direct Interlocking Directorate –– When two firms share a director or when
an executive of one firm sits on the board of a second firm.
Board of Directors
Indirect Interlocking Directorate –– When two corporations have directors
who also serve on the board of a third firm.
Board of Directors
No consistent link between board membership, leadership, structure, and financial performance of firm
Investors pay more for a firm’s stock when positive toward good corporate governance—
Belief that• Good governance leads to better performance
over time• Reduces risk of company finding itself in trouble• Governance is a major strategic issue
Governance Mechanisms
OwnershipOwnershipConcentrationConcentration
• Large block shareholders have a strong incentive to monitor management closely
• Their large stakes make it worth their while to spend time, effort and expense to monitor closely
• They may also obtain Board seats which enhances their ability to monitor effectively (although financial institutions are legally forbidden from directly holding board seats)
OwnershipOwnershipConcentrationConcentration

Recommendations for more effective Board Governance:
• Increase diversity of board members’ backgrounds
• Strengthen internal management and accounting control systems
• Establish formal processes for evaluation of the board’s performance
Governance Mechanisms

ExecutiveExecutiveCompensationCompensation
• Salary, bonuses, long term incentive compensation
• Executive decisions are complex and non-routine
• Many factors intervene making it difficult to establish how managerial decisions are directly responsible for outcomes
Governance Mechanisms
OwnershipOwnershipConcentrationConcentration
Boards ofBoards ofDirectorsDirectors
ExecutiveExecutiveCompensationCompensation
• Stock ownership (long-term incentive compensation) makes managers more susceptible to market changes which are partially beyond their control
• Incentive systems do not guarantee that managers make the “right” decisions, but do increase the likelihood that managers will do the things for which they are rewarded

Market forMarket forCorporate ControlCorporate Control
• Firms face the risk of takeover when they are operated inefficiently
• Many firms begin to operate more efficiently as a result of the “threat” of takeover, even though the actual incidence of hostile takeovers is relatively small
• Changes in regulations have made hostile takeovers difficult
• Acts as an important source of discipline over managerial incompetence and waste
Governance Mechanisms
Board of DirectorsTrends in Corporate Governance
Boards more involved in reviewing, evaluating, and shaping strategy
Institutional investors active on boards; pressure on CEO for firm performance
Shareholders demand directors own more than token amounts of the firm’s stock
Non-affiliated outside directors increasing
Board of Directors
Trends in Corporate Governance
Boards becoming smaller Boards taking more control of board functions Corporations becoming more global;
international experience needed Societal expectations that boards balance
profitability and social responsibility Diversity of board members
Board of DirectorsNominations & Elections
Staggered Board Approach:Corporations whose directors serve terms of more than one year, divide the board into classes, and stagger elections so that only a portion of the board stands for election each year.
Corporate GovernanceRole of the Board in strategic management
– MonitorDevelopments inside and outside the
corporation
– Evaluate & InfluenceReview proposals, advise, provide suggestions
and alternatives
– Initiate & DetermineDelineate corporation’s mission and specify
strategic options
Responsibilities of Top Management:
• Provide executive leadership and a strategic vision
• Manage the strategic planning process

Owner and manager are often the same in private firms
Public firms often have a dominant shareholder, frequently a bank
Frequently there is less emphasis on shareholder value than in U.S. firms, although this may be changing
GermanyGermany
Medium to large firms have a two-tiered board– vorstand monitors and controls managerial
decisions– aufsichtsrat selects the Vorstand– employees, union members and shareholders
appoint members to the Aufsichtsrat
