Corporate governance is essential to effectively assess the structure and mechanisms of a company. The application of a governance index in analyzing listed companies can help management pinpoint problems and make improvements. It also provides investors with a sound evaluation tool and a set of standards against which to measure potential investments. This can help to reduce information asymmetry between those inside a company and those outside, and also encourages companies to improve their performance.
Corporate Governance in China: Research and Evaluation outlines a governance evaluation system and establishes a corporate governance index. It also examines a large number of listed companies in China, and assesses them against six criteria that are vital to company success—the behavior of:
controlling shareholders;
board of directors;
supervisors' committee;
management;
information disclosure; and
other stakeholders.
Corporate Governance in China also provides empirical research on the relationships between the corporate governance index and corporate performance. The research provides theoretical guidance that will help companies across China improve their own corporate governance, which will benefit companies, the economy and investors. It is also essential to the success of an evaluation system that it be designed for particular circumstances; the index provided in this book has been created specifically with a focus on China, making it essential reading for any companies with China business interests.
