Book Description
The paper explores the impact of board composition and ownership structure on firm performance of Indian firms from 2009-2013 in presence of certain unique statutory provisions relating to independent directors and limits on ownership concentration. The results show that after controlling for various firm and industry level parameters, both accounting performance and market performance of firms are positively impacted by ownership concentration and board size but not by board independence. We record a two-way relationship and 'non-linearity' between market performance and ownership concentration . Very low and very high concentration negatively impact firm performance, the former being attributable to 'tunneling' , and the latter to 'illiquidity' and 'information asymmetry' associated with sale of holding by insiders to bring down concentration to permissible statutory limits. Larger board size impacting performance positively indicates that plurality of views and representation of various insiders' interest group might enhance performance but Independence has no such role because it may just be a 'myth'

Book Description
Establishing a corporate governance strategy that promotes the efficient use of organisational resources is instrumental in the economic growth of a country, as well as the successful management of firms. This book reviews existing literature and identifies board structural features as key variables of an effective corporate governance system, establishing a multi-theoretical model that links Board structural characteristics with firm performance. It then, using a comprehensive empirical study of 265 companies listed on the Karachi Stock exchange, tests this conceptual model. This research serves as a significant milestone, reflecting the socio-economic setting of emerging economies, and highlighting the need for the corporate sector in emerging markets to move away from a 'tick-box' culture. It argues that the sector needs to implement corporate governance as a tool to mitigate business risks; appoint and empower non-executive directors to achieve an effective monitoring of management; and establish their own ethical and governance principles, applicable to the Board of Directors. Based on an extensive data base, collected painstakingly over five years, this book offers new insights and conceptual framework for further research in this area. Given the breadth and width of the research, it is a useful source of future reference for students, researchers and policy makers.

Book Description
This book discusses the tasks and functions of corporate governance in the light of current challenges and the dynamics that arise from a broader approach to company management and the integration of corporate governance with corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability. Addressing the corporate governance shortcomings that are believed to have contributed to the recent financial crisis, it explores the interplay between corporate governance and CSR, and includes examples of company practice to show how such changes affect the practices of shareholders, boards of directors and regulators. In particular, the book examines shareholders’ activities, their different investment strategies, specific reporting expectations and the submission of proposals to the annual meeting. Further, for boards of directors it explores the need to revise their tasks with respect to the criteria for executive appointments, their corporate strategy, performance measures and diversity recommendations, while for directors it provides recommendations to reconsider the structure of executive pay and performance incentives. Lastly, for regulators the book investigates the need to introduce new laws addressing, for instance, the need for integrated reporting, limiting the voice of short term oriented shareholders and providing guidelines for executive compensation.

Book Description
Simultaneous-equations techniques are being used more often in corporate governance research. However, when no formal theoretical model is present, misspecification in one or more of the first or second stage regression is likely, causing empirical results to be seriously biased. This paper investigates the combined effect of ownership structure and board composition on corporate performance, using an instrumental-variables approach that allows for sensitivity analysis. The results indicate that managerial ownership, board composition, and Tobin's Q are jointly determined. More importantly, final results are very sensitive to reasonable changes in both the overall model specification and to the set of instruments.The results strongly suggest that in corporate governance research, sensitivity analysis is essential, results should be interpreted cautiously, and ordinary least squares results should not be casually dismissed.

Book Description
The study investigated the combined effects of ownership structure, board effectiveness and managerial discretion on firm performance using agency theory as an analytical framework. Measures of performance used in the study were Return on Assets, Return on Equity and Dividend Yield. Using Pearson s Product Moment Correlation and Logistic Regression, Step-wise regression and ANOVA to analyze data obtained from companies listed at the Nairobi Stock Exchange, the study found out that Ownership Concentration and Government Ownership have significant negative relationships with firm performance. On the other hand, Foreign Ownership, Diffuse Ownership, Corporation Ownership, and Manager Ownership were found to have significant positive relationships with firm performance. The results of this study have indicted the Board of Directors for not playing any meaningful role in corporate governance in Kenya. On the other hand, the results support the need for managers to bear more responsibility of their mismanagement and also share in the residual income of the firms they manage.
