14 STRATEGY Insight into how to create value Insight into how to create value

15 Corporate Governance

16 Separation of Ownership and Managerial Control n Basis of the modern corporation – shareholders reduce risk by holding diversified portfolios – shareholders purchase stock, becoming residual claimants – professional managers are contracted to provide decision-making n Modern public corporation form leads to efficient specialization of tasks – risk bearing by shareholders – strategy development and decision-making by managers

17 Corporate Governance Refers to the relationship among the board of directors, top management, and shareholders in determining the direction and performance of the corporation.

18 Corporate Governance

19 Own company Elect Board of Directors Received residual profits Shareholders

20 Corporate Governance Setting corporate strategy, overall direction, mission or vision Hiring and firing the CEO and top management Controlling, monitoring, or supervising top management Reviewing and approving the use of resources Caring for shareholder interests Board of Directors

21 Corporate Governance Manage Organization Planning Leading Organizing Controlling CEO

22 Organization of the Board n Size – Determined by charter and bylaws – Average for publicly-held, large firm is 11 directors – Average for small/medium private firms is 7 to 8 directors Board of Directors

23 Nominations & Elections Traditional Approach: – CEO invites members to serve – Shareholders approve in annual proxy statement – All nominees are usually elected

24 (Survey, 1999) n 75% of boards have at least 1 female director n 25% of boards have two female directors n 60% of boards have at least one minority member Board of Directors

25 Members: Inside directors – “Management directors” – Officers or executives employed by corporation Outside directors – “Non-management directors” – May be executives of other firms but not employed by board’s corporation Board of Directors

26 “Outsider” overly simplistic term -- Some outsiders are not truly objective and could be considered insiders. Examples: n Affiliated Directors n Retired Directors n Family Directors

27 Board of Directors Continuum Phantom Rubber Stamp Minimal Review Nominal Participation Active ParticipationCatalyst Never knows what to do, if anything; no degree of involvement.

31 Agency Theory Problem n The agency problem occurs when: – the desires or goals of the principal and agent conflict and it is difficult or expensive for the principal to verify that the agent has behaved appropriately n Solution: – principals engage in incentive-based performance contracts – monitoring mechanisms such as the board of directors – enforcement mechanisms such as the managerial labor market to mitigate the agency problem

32 Agency Theory Conflicts n Principals may engage in monitoring behavior to assess the activities and decisions of managers However, dispersed shareholding makes it difficult and inefficient to monitor management’s behavior n Boards of Directors have a fiduciary duty to shareholders to monitor management However, Boards of Directors are often accused of being lax in performing this function

33 Agency Theory Problems arise in corporations because the agents (top management) are not willing to bear responsibility for their decisions unless they own a substantial amount of stock in the corporation.

34 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.

35 Codetermination – The inclusion of a corporation’s workers on its board of directors. Board of Directors

36 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.

37 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

38 Governance MechanismsOwnershipConcentration 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)

39 OwnershipConcentration Boards of Directors 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

40 OwnershipConcentration Boards of Directors ExecutiveCompensation 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

41 OwnershipConcentration Boards of Directors ExecutiveCompensation 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 Governance Mechanisms

42 OwnershipConcentration Boards of Directors ExecutiveCompensation Market for Corporate 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

43 Board of Directors Trends in Corporate Governance n Boards more involved in reviewing, evaluating, and shaping strategy n Institutional investors active on boards; pressure on CEO for firm performance n Shareholders demand directors own more than token amounts of the firm’s stock n Non-affiliated outside directors increasing

44 Board of Directors Trends in Corporate Governance n Boards becoming smaller n Boards taking more control of board functions n Corporations becoming more global; international experience needed n Societal expectations that boards balance profitability and social responsibility n Diversity of board members

45 Board of Directors Nominations & 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.

46 Board of Directors Nominations & Elections Criteria for Selection Board of Director Membership Wiling to challenge management Special expertise Availability for advice and meetings Expertise on global issues Understands key technologies External contacts valuable to the firm Detailed knowledge of industry High visibility in field Accomplished in representing firm to stakeholders

47 Styles of Corporate Governance Entrepreneurship management Partnership management Chaos management Marionette management Degree of Involvement By Top Management Degree of Involvement By Board of Directors High Low High

48 Corporate Governance Role of the Board in strategic management – Monitor n Developments inside and outside the corporation – Evaluate & Influence n Review proposals, advise, provide suggestions and alternatives – Initiate & Determine n Delineate corporation’s mission and specify strategic options

49 Responsibilities of Top Management: Provide executive leadership and a strategic vision Manage the strategic planning process Corporate Governance

50 Top Management Executive Leadership – – The directing of activities toward the accomplishment of corporate objectives. Sets the tone for the entire corporation. Strategic Vision – – A description of what the company is capable of becoming. Often communicated in the mission statement.

54 International Corporate Governance: n Owner and manager are often the same in private firms n Public firms often have a dominant shareholder, frequently a bank n Frequently there is less emphasis on shareholder value than in U.S. firms, although this may be changing Germany

55 n 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 International Corporate Governance:Germany

56 n Obligation, “family” and consensus are important factors n Banks (especially “main bank”) are highly influential with firm’s managers n Keiretsus are strongly interrelated groups of firms tied together by cross-shareholdings International Corporate Governance:Japan

57 n Other characteristics: – powerful government intervention – close relationships between firms and government sectors – passive and stable shareholders who exert little control – virtual absence of external market for corporate control International Corporate Governance:Japan
