Talk:Corporate Governance/Archive 1
[edit] History Needs work
This paragraph is extremely hard to interpret:
In the 19th century, state corporation lawless enhanced the rights of corporate boards to govern without unanimous consent of shareholders in exchange for statutory benefits like appraisal rights, to make corporate governance more efficient. Since that time, and because most large publicly traded corporations in the US are incorporated under corporate administration friendly Delaware law, and because the US's wealth has been increasingly securitized into various corporate entities and institutions, the rights of individual owners and shareholders have become increasingly derivative and dissipated. The concerns of shareholders over administration pay and stock losses periodically has led to more frequent calls for corporate governance reforms. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.120.131.254 (talk) 17:54, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Sections
I think sections of this article are really messy. My comments to each one: Definition => why to have a definition section? The term was defined in the lead section. I suggest eliminating this. History => ok Parties to corporate governance => maybe an enhanced version, with a clear discussion for each party. Or delete altogether, trying not to eliminate good isolated insights in current text. Principles => ok (some overlap with mechanisms and controls?) Mechanisms and controls => ok (some overlap with principles?) Systemic problems of corporate governance => redundant with other parts Role of the accountant => looks like a subsection, within principles maybe, or mechanisms and control Regulation => each subsection here brings an insight, however it is far from a complete regulation discussion of corporate governance Corporate governance models around the world => ok Codes and guidelines => maybe merge with Regulation? Do a Regulation, codes and guidelines section? Or rather, a Principles, guidelines and regulation session? Corporate governance and firm performance => definitely a must have section, however the world knows better than this text here... a thorough survey of the recent (and not so recent) academic works here would do wonders. I hope I had the time. Rodrigoleite (talk) 07:03, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
