Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Law - Miscellaneous, grade: B+, The University of Hong Kong (Faculty of Law), course: Corporate Governance and Shareholder Remedies, language: English, abstract: In Germany, 'co-determination' has a long tradition. Beginning in the late 19th century, the German co-determination system has been developed over more than 100 years to become one of the most dominant co-determination systems in the world. Employees' co-determination in Germany becomes visible in two different forms: employees' participation in 'works councils' ('Betriebsrat') at establishment level ('betriebliche Mitbestimmung') and labour (employees and trade union representatives) participation in 'supervisory boards' on board level ('Unternehmensmitbestimmung'). German corporate law distinguishes between the 'management board' ('Vorstand/ Geschäftsführung') and the 'supervisory board' ('Aufsichtsrat') ('two-tier boards system' as opposed to the Anglo-American 'one-tier system'). Co-determination on board level refers to the representation of employees on the supervisory board. Depending on the industry, the corporation is operating in and the size of labour force, the supervisory board composes of one third ('third part participation') to half ('parity participation') of employees' representatives. 'Corporate governance', the regulations for legal and actual distribution of management and supervision tasks between the supervisory board, the management board and the shareholders has lead in many countries to the development of codes since the 1990s. Germany also has drawn up a corporate governance code meanwhile - the 'German Corporate Governance Code'. The code builds together with the 'Stock Corporation Act' and the different co-determination acts the legal framework for corporate governance principles in Germany. It aims to make Germany's corporate governance rules transparent for both national and international investors, thus strengthening confi

The book provides readers with an overview of the unique features of German business and enterprise law and an in-depth analysis of the organs of governance of German public limited companies (general meeting, management board, supervisory board). In addition, approaches for reforms required at the international level are also suggested and discussed, including, among others, the unique interplay and dynamics of the German two-tier board model with the system of codetermination, referring to the arrangement of employees sitting on the supervisory boards of German public limited companies and private companies employing more than 500 employees; also covered are significant recent legal developments in Europe.The book highlights the core function of valuation and financial reporting at the international, European and German levels, with accounting as the documentary proof of good corporate governance. Corporate governance encompasses the free enterprise system, which is treated comprehensively in this book from a German perspective. This distinguishes the book from other books written in English in this subject area, not only because of the comprehensive way it covers German corporate law and corporate governance, but also because of the fact that it provides international and European perspectives on these important topics.The book is addressed to researchers, practitioners and basically anyone with an interest in the complex, but intriguing areas of corporate law and corporate governance.

Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Politics - General and Theories of International Politics, grade: 1,3 (German Grading System), University of Washington, language: English, abstract: After scandals like Enron in the past years, companies have been pressured to establish Corporate Governance systems to control their management. The design of these systems is often determined on a national level, but varies substantially from country to country. This paper deals with the different systems of Corporate Governance in the United States and Germany and establishes a comparison. The focus is put on how the German system is different from that of the US. At the end, recent developments in the Corporate Governance landscape are discussed. To begin with, it is important to understand what Corporate Governance means. It is defined as “The system of rules, practices and processes by which a company is directed and controlled”. These rules, practices and processes are supposed to achieve values like integrity, transparency and fairness. Thereby, Corporate Governance can support a corporation to “fulfill its goals and objectives in a manner that adds to the value of the company and is also beneficial for all stakeholders in the long term”. Furthermore, it strengthens a company’s reputation and has shown to increase share prices by establishing trust. Potential investors, who might not be familiar with a corporation’s processes and controlling practices in detail, can rely on statutory monitoring systems.

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1,3, University of Leipzig (Wirtschaftspolitik), course: Development of Financial Markets and Institutions, language: English, abstract: Few areas of business economics are discussed in such a controversial manner as different corporate governance systems. In a globalized age in which the capital markets of industrialized countries have a large operating range and a growing degree of internationalization, the design and regulation activities in this field have become increasingly important. This has triggered a "competition of institutions". In the current academic discussion, different corporate governance paradigms are being examined, to figure out, which could be the most successful in a market economy in order to attract investors. It considers what system of management of a capitalled company is the most appropriate - in order to provide a location or rather a country - a competitive advantage in competition for global players. It is assumed that the type of the corporate governance system influences the company’s success or even more on the entire national economy. As reference points, the German and the US model are often being used. Since they are opposed to one another in their paradigmatic and thus embody the exemplary corporate governance system. In addition, since the Cold War and beyond, the US has been a hegemon and has always had a great influence on the economic and financial system worldwide. Germany is regarded as the political and economic core of the most important partner of the USA, the European Union. Both are regarded as a highly developed economic system; their further development will attract attention beyond their national borders. Although, the aim of corporate governance is identical, the institutional design and the underlying philosophies differ. As of a 1980 ́s it appears that the German bank-based system cannot meet the needs of the swift progress of financial markets. From the 1990s onwards, especially in the case of some serious legal measures in Germany, a move towards capital market orientation has been taking place. Since the prediction of a system convergence has been considered critical - because they are embedded in a corresponding cultural and socioeconomic system, which makes the transferability of the respective economic paradigms doubtful - this paper tries to examine if these legal regulations triggered a change in the German financial system.

Most scholarship on corporate governance in the last two decades has focused on the relationships between shareholders and managers or directors. Neglected in this vast literature is the role of employees in corporate governance. Yet "human capital," embodied in the employees, is rapidly becoming the most important source of value for corporations, and outside the United States, employees often have a significant formal role in corporate governance. This volume turns the spotlight on the neglected role of employees by analyzing many of the formal and informal ways that employees are actually involved in the governance of corporations, in U.S. firms and in large corporations in Germany and Japan. Examining laws and contexts, the essays focus on the framework for understanding employees' role in the firm and the implications for corporate governance. They explore how and why the special legal institutions in German and Japanese firms by which employees are formally involved in corporate governance came into being, and the impact these institutions have on firms and on their ability to compete. They also consider theoretical and empirical questions about employee share ownership. The result of a conference at Columbia University, the volume includes essays by Theodor Baums, Margaret M. Blair, David Charny, Greg Dow, Bernd Frick, Ronald J. Gilson, Jeffrey N. Gordon, Nobuhiro Hiwatari, Katharina Pistor, Louis Putterman, Edward B. Rock, Mark J. Roe, and Michael L. Wachter. Margaret M. Blair is a senior fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution and author of Ownership and Control: Rethinking Corporate Governance for the Twenty-first Century (Brookings, 1995). Mark J. Roe, professor of business regulation and director of the Sloan Project on Corporate Governance at Columbia Law School, is the author of Strong Managers, Weak Owners: The Political Roots of American Corporate Finance (Princeton, 1996).

Master's Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, grade: B, University of Canterbury (Law School), language: English, abstract: In times of global corporate disasters many turn to corporate board structures in order to find solutions. The board of directors is responsible for monitoring the management and is therefore in the focal point of many legal scholars. Current US board structures have proved to fail to provide sufficient supervision. Scandals such as Enron and WorldCom have shuttered especially American but also European legislatures. Highest priority, at present, is to reestablish investors’ faith in the securities market. Corporations are facing reluctant investments or even fearful avoidance of the stock market. Many US scholars see a solution in the adoption of the German two-tier board system and the European Union gives the managements of European Corporations, the Societas Europeas, the possibility to opt for the two-tier-system. In the 1997 Report on the Corporate Governance Movement in France, even the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) praised the two-tier-system to be superior and more effective in monitoring management than the unitary system, which is in place in the majority of countries, including the United States of America (USA) and New Zealand, at the moment. The two-tier-system is on the rise. France offers an optional adoption for major stock companies and the Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries demand a two-tier structure once a stock company has reached a certain size. New Zealand has not faced similar scandals to Enron. Therefore, some might think that there is no necessity to indulge in a discussion on changing board structures. However, the New Zealand market is highly reliant on international investments and has lately lost ground in the global competition in this regard. The USA and Germany are both undoubtedly global players and, as André puts it, “by virtually any standard ... the world’s largest and most successful economies”. Germany has a large influence on the legislation of the European Union, one of New Zealand’s largest trade partners. Studies have revealed that large international companies impose the two-tier system on French subsidiaries. If this is done in order to maintain more formal control over the subsidiary or to give the subsidiary more flexibility, is irrelevant.

The process of economic globalization, as product and capital markets have become increasingly integrated since WWII, has placed huge, and it is argued by some, irresistible pressures on the world's 'insider' stakeholder oriented corporate governance systems. Insider corporate governance systems in countries such as Germany, so the argument goes, should converge or be transformed by global product and capital market pressures to the 'superior' shareholder oriented 'outsider' corporate governance model prevalent in the UK and the US. What these pressures from globalization are, how they manifest themselves, whether they are likely to cause such a convergence/transformation and whether these pressures will continue, lie at the heart of the exploration in this volume. The Globalization of Corporate Governance provides a detailed analysis of the evolution of the key corporate governance systems in the UK, the US and Germany from the perspective of the development of economic globalization. As such it is a valuable resource for those interested in how economic and legal reforms interact to produce change within corporate governance systems.
