Academic Paper from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,3, Munich Business School University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: This Thesis examines the topic of the German Corporate Governance Code and its practical application of the Corporate Management body within DAX-listed companies. Taking as a basis a general understanding of the Code, its statutory provision and relevant content, it will be analyzed how Standards are applied by the corporate body and which recommendations are not being taken into account in practice. In order to provide a holistic evaluation, different literary material and scientific studies are being used to develop a picture of the fulfillment and to stress potentials of improvement. All aspects from the findings are being critically contrasted to characterize the actual situation in Germany. Moreover, it will be analyzed to what extend the different obligations of the Code are affecting the implementation. The German Corporate Governance Code may be generally used as a guideline document of the German General Commission to aim for good and sustainable governance within capital markets and to improve a company's reputation towards shareholders. While various law legislations are underlying the Standards as well as mandatory obligations, the Code consists of different demands which also address potential commitments for German companies in the future. Some Standards exist on a voluntary basis and do not represent compulsive requirements. This Thesis will therefore assess and analyze the current application of Standards by a group's Corporate Management. In regards to that, a comprehensive evaluation of implementation will be presented in this analysis.

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.

Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: The management and supervision of corporations, known as corporate governance in English and, frequently, in German-speaking countries as well, has been a topic of discussion since beginning of the 90's in the USA. After arriving in Great Britain the discussion subsequently spread to Continental Europe. In Germany, the effective supervision of corporations became a central topic of debate after several well-known corporations came under scrutiny for mismanagement. In such cases the corporations supervisory boards were criticised in particular, as their supervision of management was considered insufficient and ineffective. The relation between management and owners of a corporation represents the basic problem of the corporate governance discussion. The management of a corporation must take the interests of large-scale investors and, accordingly, the interests of smaller investors into consideration. Against this background, the influence of the stakeholders is repressed. The shareholder value system, thus, becomes increasingly important. Globalisation and the resulting integration of capital markets has caused more and more large institutional investors -especially, those from Anglo-Saxon countries- to put their financial assets to the test in order to check the efficiency of management and supervision. In Germany, in particular, effective regulations on corporate governance have been missing until now. In most of the other countries with a free market economy, a code of conduct with generally accepted principles is already in existence. These principles enable investors to check and to judge systematically a corporation in regard to its corporate governance. Corporations with transparent supervisory systems obtain clearly better stock quotations as corporations without those systems. Numerous surveys have found that institutional investors are willing to pay up to a 20 percent premium for shares of corporations with good corporate governance. Such investors maintain that transparency and efficient supervision reduce the risk of mismanagement. Due to both the internal pressure of mismanagement and the external change caused by the globalisation of capital markets, the corporate governance discussion in Germany has resulted in much effort to create a system of regulations to make Germany more attractive to international investors. In addition to this, the regulations are intended to stem the criticism of numerous [...]

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

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Law, grade: 2,3, Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: The aim of this seminar paper is to illustrate the topic “Legal requirements of risk management in Germany”. An insight into the legal requirements of risk management in a company, e.g. banks and insurances, will be provided. Furthermore, a practical example of risk management at Daimler AG will be described in the following section. Finally, the paper closes with a personal conclusion. The term “risk” is described in literature in many different ways. Risk is being described as a possible deterioration compared to an ex-pected result (loss or damage risk). According to the law “Corporate Sector Supervision and Transparency Act” it means, that a company aspires to fulfil their goals. On the way there are several factors of risk that should be taken into account. The purpose of risk management is to identify, estimate and avert possible risks during a process. Originally, big American companies created risk management out of their insurance policy. Their goal was to significantly reduce insurance premium.

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, University Witten/Herdecke, language: English, abstract: In the early days, the academic research in the field of corporate governance (hereafter: CG) developed largely in silos, depending on the areas of interest of the respective researchers. Since the last decade however, researchers pay more attention to the formation of a holistic approach that focusses on the effectiveness and efficiency of CG as a whole. From a practitioner's view, CG methods are essential in order to improve sustainable economic growth, economic efficiency and the trust of national and international investors. Due to the takeover wave during the 1980s, the advancing deregulation and globalisation of the capital markets as well as the Asian financial crisis in the end of the 1990s, CG has gained a greater profile. This was reinforced by several corporate scandals in the U.S. (e.g. Enron) but also in Europe in the early 2000s. Because of this, voices for a higher necessity of responsible management and CG have arisen. For Germany in particular, the Holzmann scandal during the turn of the millennium compelled the German legislator to step up its monitoring on CG of listed companies. As a consequence, the German Corporate Governance Code was established by its eponymous government commission in 2002. The objective of the establishment was not only to strengthen the confidence in the German CG and corporate control system, but also to provide suggestions for a modernisation of the legislation with respect to the ongoing globalisation and internationalisation of the capital markets and the accompanying transformation of corporate and market structures. After building a theoretical background on the basics of CG, the paper focusses on the German Corporate Governance Code: First, its development history will be mentioned and a brief definition will be given, followed by its

Diploma Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Law, grade: 1,3, Technical University of Chemnitz, language: English, abstract: Corporate management and corporate governance are becoming more and more crucial in today’s successful economies. With the increasing relevance of capital markets this subject comes more into the focus of the public. Particularly, the fast growing importance of institutional investors is a key factor which helps to explain the changing attitude of managers towards shareholders and corporate governance. In conjunction with the German capital market, a wide variety of mismanagement in German public limited companies has revealed shortfalls of German top-management and corporate control in the last decade. This development was of fundamental importance for the development of the German Corporate Governance Code. Hence, the basic underlying of corporate governance can be attributed to a conflict between the management of a listed corporation and its owners. More precisely, this conflict arises because the management does not adequately comprise the interests of shareholders. In Germany, assets under management of professional investors have increased at 92 percent from 1990 to 2001.1 In addition, a growing administration of private savings by professional fund managers as well as the intensified exercise of influence by institutional investors on corporate governance and corporate management respectively corporate strategy is observable. Similarly, a growing importance of institutional investors could be observed in the United Kingdom as well as in the United States. Within academic literature, the issue of activism by institutional investors in Germany is analyzed little, so far. Furthermore, there are only a few surveys on the outcome of the influence by institutional investors on corporate management. Therefore, this thesis aims to answer the following questions: 1. How was the development of shareholder activism in Germany and how can it be characterized and explained? 2. Is shareholder activism a superior tool in relation to the market of corporate control to solve the principal-agent problem? 3. What do institutional investors demand from German corporations and in particular from corporate management? 4. Which options do institutional investors have to influence corporate management? 5. How are these options for activism covered by the German Corporate Governance Code and the German legal framework? 6. What is the optimum corporate governance from an institutional investor’s angle? 7. What is the empirical outcome?

In International Standardisation of Good Corporate Governance - Best Practices for the Board of Directors the Academy of Directors (AoD) presents a multidisciplinary approach for the governance of a company. The AoD also aims to use the interaction between the academic and the business world to change the environment in which companies work. This task is realised in different ways: by conducting applied scientific research, creating a large pool of professional experience and networking within the AoD, confronting these research results with the practical experience of the members, publishing these results, and organising training programmes. The AoD therefore collaborates very closely with the academic world. The Vlerick School of Management was the co-founder of the AoD, together with a great number of national and international business partners. The foundation of the AoD goes back to the initiative of its president, Mr. L.H. Verbeke (Loeff Claeys Verbeke). He was convinced that the increasing international interest in corporate governance would also affect Belgian companies, but that there was a need for an `indigenous coherent' view of corporate governance. Being at the cross-roads of different cultures and languages and at the same time being a very open economy, Belgium could not simply copy another country's code on good corporate governance. Therefore the initiative was taken to set up a broad international overview of the best practices for the board of directors, which is presented in this volume. This analysis is not only oriented towards the `famous' codes but aims to highlight as well the practical applications and problems faced in implementing these suggestions. Consequently special attention is given to the best practices for family businesses and medium-sized companies.
