Abstract:

AS THE Letters to the Editor illustrate, governance, both good and bad, can influence the effectiveness of the health care system. As reported by Dr Playford and her colleagues (page 6), the health workforce and educational leaders in Western Australia suggested our lack of effective interprofessional education required a ?good? governance solution ? the government needed to fund, plan, implement and monitor interprofessional education. On the other hand, Dr Ranmuthugala suggested that the continuing stream of health care crises was a direct result of our apparent inability to take a systems approach (page 5), which could be argued is a symptom of ?bad? governance. This issue launches a new section on Health Care Governance. According to Wikipedia, most simply put, ?Governance consists of assuring, on behalf of those governed, a worthy pattern of good while avoiding an undesirable pattern of bad?. Therefore by definition, health system governance would focus on planning, implementing and evaluating the necessary structures and processes to maximise good health outcomes and minimise the bad or adverse outcomes. But for some reason in health care our governance of the system, the organisations and the individual providers was not seen to be effective in promoting good clinical outcomes and limiting bad clinical outcomes. This necessitated the introduction of ?clinical governance? in the 1990s. Braithwaite and Travaglia track the progression of clinical governance in the first Health Care Governance paper (page 10). In addition, Johnstone and Geelen- Baass present a paper on business continuity ? an important concern of all governing bodies (page 161).

Abstract:

Bad governance can very quickly ruin the economic situation of the whole country. However, in the conditions of the Western world, even though they can cause a lot of damage, more or less developed administrative apparatus is able to minimize the effects of bad decisions, and the society has a chance to rebuff the rulers in the next elections. In so-called dysfunctional states bad governance can damage an already weak country’s economy. Most researchers dealing with the issue of the state in Sub-Saharan Africa believe that, once the decolonisation was over, the power in the region was mostly taken by people whose leadership must be evaluated negatively, represented by such dictators as Jean-Bédel Bokassa, Mobutu Sese Seko or Idi Amin. The paper is trying to explain the interconnection between bad governance experienced by Sub-Saharan African countries and state dysfunctionality phenomenon from which they suffer. The author formulated the analysis and assessment of bad governance presented in this article on the basis of his own field studies carried out in African countries and research of specialist literature related to African and political studies.

Abstract:

Corporate governance, allocating rights and responsibilities inside the firm, provides worthwhile guidelines that lead management to valuable processes and activities, which are the core of business success for the interests of all stakeholders. This paper provides evidence of an interesting business case in which many corporate governance rules were disregarded. In Alitalia airline company, the management, ignoring corporate governance aspects, strongly disrupted economic value. The study is based on the analysis of managerial profiles of Presidents and CEOs of Alitalia, evidencing their relationship with corporate governance issues. Moreover, we deeply investigated the story of Alitalia and the governments’ political influence on the airline company. We found the absence of a proper mix of authority and responsibility, conflicts of interests and agency costs, poor monitoring activities, lack of managerial skills and scarce managerial effort, jointly with ineffective incentive mechanisms. The consequence was that past bad governance has compromised the ability of the company to create new value. We conclude that when governance principles are disregarded for a long time, even a high performing and cash-rich company can lose its competitive advantage, damaging its chances of a turnaround.

Abstract:

Since independence, Nigeria has suffered many and different forms of bad leadership and governance. This invariably has had its toll on the nation building process of the country as bad leadership and governance are synonymous with low development and disunity, especially when considering the dissatisfaction that arises from the different quarters of the country shaking the country’s foundation and threatening the unity of the country and disrupting real development and progress in the body polity. There are extant scholarly works on leadership, governance and nation building in Nigeria. However, it appears that the existing works have not been able to raise a louder alarm and raise a red flag against the prevailing corrupt and bad status quo in the political arena of the country which has worked against the nation building effort of the country. This paper intends to raise such alarm while warning the political leaders against impending revolution by patiently giving an account of leadership in Nigeria and the flaws of the Nigerian political leaders as they have had implications on the nation building process of the country. The paper makes use of historical methodology by analyzing data and information derived majorly from secondary sources such as books, journal articles, chapters in books, internet sources, etc. The paper has found out that many factors are responsible for good or bad governance and leadership in Nigeria which in turn have implications on the nation building process of the country. In all the paper has revealed that for there to be good and true governance and leadership in Nigeria that would affect nation building process positively, true and purposeful leaders must emerge to replace the bad ones that have existed over the years, and selfless and personal sacrifice must replace selfishness and greed in the minds of Nigerian political leaders.

Abstract:

Corporations being powerful institutions must be more accountable for their business policies and practices as their activities, for better or worse, have a significant impact on individuals, whole communities and society at large. But unfortunately, Capitalism at the beginning of the 21st century with overemphasis on economic performance has evolved the rule of unproductive economic activities, exploitation of customers, illegal monopolies, political patronage and personal gains. The observed inconsistency between the role and rule of business, being detrimental to the society has raised a concern about implementing business governance that would integrate value framework, ethical framework and moral framework under which business decisions are taken. To comply with the moral standards for optimizing the outcome for directly negotiating parties the corporate need to adopt a dual goal concept: a strategic goal and moral goal. An ideal situation is possible once the ethical perspectives of a business is internalised through value-based negotiations and exchanges at all levels, social, political and symbolic; hence broad objective of this paper is to put forward some guiding principle for the business firms to evolve responsible behaviour and avoid bad governance and business related violence

Abstract:

This review seeks to critically unravel Bogdan Bucur's Sociology of Bad Governance in Interwar Romania by using both an emic and an etic approach. From an emic perspective, that is, from inside the book, Bogdan Bucur's intellectual effort is really impressive. Despite a huge amount of data, Sociology of Bad Governance in Interwar Romania proves itself quite easy to read thanks to a solid organization. Additionally, due to the fact that the author has employed a classic academic recipe, the abovementioned book is also very coherent. However, looked at it etically, the book loses its internal coherence due to some conceptual and methodological blunders. Conceptually, despite the fact that the book brings to the fore the issue of bad governance and that it includes a theoretical chapter, the concept of good governance is left unaddressed. Methodologically, the author seems to have fallen in the trap of methodological nationalism. A consistent liberal and neo-marxist literature has already addressed the state as a historical institution which is more or less dependent on the international milieu. In his attempt to explain the administrative failures of the interwar Romanian state, the author has completely overlooked the path dependence explanation and the impact former empires had had on post-colonial states. Thus, a confusion between causes and manifestations of bad governance has emerged.

Abstract:

Abstract Among many arguments for constitutional changes presented in the wake of the 2020 campaign for the popular vote in Russia, there was the idea that “cementing” Russia’s political landscape for the sake of the regime’s durability would serve as a tool for improvement of quality of governance. This argument, in a way, followed the essential point of Mancur Olson describing many autocrats across the globe as “roving bandits” with their short-term time horizons and incentives for predatory behavior. To what extent may the constitutional extension of the time horizon of Russia’s authoritarian regime contribute to conversion of Russia’s state officials and top managers from the “roving” to the “stationary” model, in Olson’s terms? On the basis of previous research, I argue that the nature of Russia’s political regime—electoral authoritarianism under personalist rule—prevents such a trajectory of further evolution. Indeed, the set of constitutional changes adopted in Russia in July 2020 is likely to preserve bad governance as a mechanism of maintenance of politico-economic order, as intentionally built and developed during the post-Soviet period. While certain technocratic solutions for Russia’s governance, aimed at “fool-proofing”, may avert the risks of major disasters, under conditions of durable authoritarianism the use of these devices will not result in major advancements in the quality of governance. Rather, they may contribute to further decay and aggravation of the numerous vices of bad governance.

Abstract:

By all accounts, the post-2001 state-building effort in Afghanistan failed to deliver on its promise. Rather than blame politicians, insurgency, or obdurate customary authority, this article suggests the constitutional principles upon which the state was constructed ultimately undermined the state itself. In an attempt to address the enormous human suffering in Afghanistan, the 2004 Constitution proclaimed a vast array of positive rights to be implemented by an extremely centralized state apparatus. Yet this vision, in which individuals should look to the state as a source of individual and community well-being, is dramatically out of step with a reality in which individuals neither trusts the centralized state, nor relies on it for many public goods. For many Afghans, the notion of well-being is tied to independence from the state. An alternative state-building vision, one that appreciates a constitutional order stressing negative rights and recognizes the virtues of self-governance, would have resonated much more deeply with a society that has been served by chronically weak governments. This article uses evidence from an original nationally-representative survey and field interviews to illustrate the disjuncture between a self-governing society in which individuals strive for limited government and a state-building ‘antidote’ that offers up a very different medicine. The essay concludes by explaining why a more limited and politically bounded state-building approach, especially in rural areas, may be an important alternative to promote citizen well-being.

Abstract:

This article argues that the accumulative bad governance in Egypt over three decades and its failure to realize the intended development for the people represents one of the main reasons why people revolted. Bad governance contributed to the fall of Mubarak regime in three fundamental ways: first, it created the conditions (such as rampant corruption, violation of human rights and absence of rule of law) that served to inspire public action against the rulers; second, it led to the breakdown of core elements critical for regime stability (within the bureaucracy and the judiciary for example) and third it catalyzed the middle-class who played a key role in agitating for the uprisings via Face-book and other social media. However, in exposing the dynamics of bad governance in Egypt, this article suggests that the problem is not only one of governance gone badly; but also the lack of comprehensive ‘good governance’ paradigm capable to overcome bad governance aspects. So, by focusing only on institutional reform, the good governance paradigm did not capture the way in which actors, processes and values become diffuse across the state–society divide.A relational governance approach would be more analytically useful in capturing and engaging with some of these dynamics. Whereby, through partnership adoption-which is one of good governance pillars- decentralization of powers and responsibilities from a higher to a lower level of government should been held out as an answer to a multitude of diverse political challenges to realize the desired societal development. It is often assumed that as an organizing principle, decentralization reduces corruption by bringing government closer to the people (citizens' empowerment). Citizens are central to this thinking in terms of sensitizing them to public ethics. (Re)orienting public officials towards becoming reflective (responding) public officials according to new public management perspective (NPM) that may pave the way for effective development administration (DA) resurrection; which might be capable to translate people aspirations into actions; that could be more pertinent to recent revolutionary events in much of the Arab world countries as Egypt.

Abstract:

Corporate governance (CG) reformists typically presume better-governed companies are more transparent to investors. We focus on CG and transparency in Japan, where CG has been an ongoing issue. Using local ratings of Japanese companies’ CG and data on corporate disclosures and their associated stock returns, we do find better-governed Japanese companies have made more frequent and timelier disclosures, and their share prices have reflected value-relevant information earlier. While these results hold for good news, they do not hold for bad. Consequently, governance guidance in Japan may not have resulted in both timelier and more balanced release of newsworthy information.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study the relationship between reporting a loss and changes in board quality. Low quality corporate governance is associated with adverse accounting outcomes and is characterised by the lack of non-executive and independent directors on the board. Changes in these board quality indicators in response to the reporting of a loss and conditioned by the severity of the loss are examined. Design/methodology/approach – This study uses four years of board information spanning the report of an initial loss for companies listed on the UK stock exchange. An industry and size matched control sample is used in a difference-in-difference analysis to isolate the impact of the loss from underlying changes in board quality. Findings – Overall the results indicate that more severe initial loss events precipitate improvements in board quality over and above the control sample as well as less severe loss events. Research limitations/implications – Although unambiguous, the reporting of a loss is only one measure of underperformance. Also the board quality indicators used in this study are two from several individual corporate governance variables and amalgamations used in the extent literature. Practical implications – The findings demonstrate that the relationship between corporate governance and performance is endogenous and that the majority of any improvement in board quality actually anticipates the reporting of the loss. Any celebration of improvements in governance need to be tempered by an understanding of the precariousness of the firms at which these improvements are made. Originality/value – This study contributes to a research stream that examines negative shocks, and losses in particular, as an event likely to precipitate firm-level changes in board quality, i.e. firms tend not to make improvements to board quality without the impetus to do so.

Abstract:

This study analyses the relationships between performance metrics and the corporate control and governance characteristics of a sample of China’s listed non-financial companies in order to assess the influence of corporate governance structures on the quality and independence of corporate decision making. We use a panel data set covering the years 2001 to 2005 comprised of a stratified sample of A, AB and AH non-financial companies listed on China’s Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges. We find that concentration of ownership, including state and foreign ownership, and board size and independence are significant factors in determining performance outcomes, and by association the quality and independence of corporate policy decisions, as measured in the form of firm bad debt to total asset and bad debt to receivables ratios. Our findings support claims of continued inadequacies in the operation and effectiveness of China’s institutions of corporate governance, especially with respect to the effectiveness of the supervisory board.

Abstract:

The purpose of the article is to address issues of auditing in the context of financial management as a contribution to good governance. Generally, not all local governments have effective and operational audit units and committees. As a result, auditing is not used as an essential element of good governance and this leads to bad audit outcomes like disclaimers and adverse opinions. The bad audit outcomes in local government have motivated the researcher to conduct the study on auditing. There are internal factors within the municipalities as well as external factors that are of interest and directed the researcher to have desire and commitment to make a contribution in this particular field of research. The key issues, amongst others, are principles of financial management, financial strategy, auditing functions such as forensic auditing, fraud auditing, forensic accounting and detection of fraud, including accounting systems and auditor’s role. This article will also attempt to reinforce existing theories and add value to local government financial discourse and good governance.

Abstract:

In a private placement, the identity of the block purchaser has attracted much attention, while the characteristics of the issuing firm are sparsely noted. We hypothesize that the market concerns about the coupling between the issuing firm and the new block investor. Our empirical findings from a sample of 213 private equity placements in Taiwan indicate that the announcement effect of good-governance firms is significantly higher than that of bad-governance firms. Moreover, the induction of outside block investor further punctuates the coupling effect: the coupling between good-governance (poor-governance) firms and outside block investors yields even higher (lower) returns. Finally, the coupling effect remains significant in explaining the long-run performance of private-equity-placement firms.

Abstract:

Corporate scandals during the last years have been proven to be stigmata on the corporate environment. Greece has been the focus point for its public financials, but it has its share of corporate scandals. The last thirty years a rapid reform has taken place in Greece. The legal, regulatory and capital market framework has changed in order to create a more comparable, compatible and isomorphic European business environment. Initiatives like the introduction of IFRS (2003-2004), corporate governance best practices (2002-2003), monitoring and auditing reforms, were some of the main tools of creating a new business environment in Greece. The paper argues, using specific data that these initiatives weren’t efficient enough, not by designers fault but because they weren’t appropriate for the fundamental characteristic of the social, political, legal and economic business environment of Greece. The paper, using the Proton bank case, shows these inefficiencies and highlights the fallacies of the policy makers in Greece and in Europe.

Abstract:

The concept of good governance can be interpreted as a reference for the process and structure of good political and socio-economic relations. Human interest is the strongest factor that currently affects both the bad and the achievement of a country and good governance. PTAIN in the future will be faced with a reality of intense competition. Competition does not only come from within the country but also from abroad. At times like that, if a PTAIN wants to remain in existence and be taken into account, in addition to carrying out strategic steps as mentioned above it must also be able to perform excel in accordance with the times among other universities.

Abstract:

This article is designed for teaching about the importance of culture for transmitting ethical norms and beliefs. The focus is on the link between ethical behavior and political power and the allegorical representation in popular culture of ethics as a battle between good and evil. Public art most often supports the ruling regime and is intended to underwrite the rulers’ ideology and legitimacy. Three sets of murals spanning six centuries illustrate how public art communicates the epoch’s authoritative view of the ethical foundations of good governance and, conversely, the immoral basis and undesirable consequences of bad governance.

Abstract:

ICN Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (today Valeant Pharmaceuticals International) was a drug developer and manufacturer, known in the medical field for its development of Ribavirin, an antiviral compound used to treat various viral infections. However, ICN will probably be remembered mostly as an example of problematic and inefficient corporate governance. Changes in the management structure of ICN occurred almost at the same time when corporations, like Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, were dealing with financial scandals caused by problems in corporate governance. Since ICN was not a powerful corporation and found a way to deal with its problems, it was not subject of any big financial scandal. Nevertheless, it is interesting how ICN managed to operate, in some years even successfully, with so many corporate governance problems and how Milan Panic managed to stay at the top of ICN for 42 years, in spite of his numerous expensive law suits, scandals and bad decisions.

Abstract:

We study the relation between corporate governance, market liquidity and stock price informativeness. Firms with more informative stock prices are associated with larger transaction volume, larger bid-ask spread and better corporate governance. Thisliquidity-informativeness relation is significant for firms with high antitakeover provision (bad corporate governance). However, bid-ask spread is insignificantly associated withprice informativeness for firms with less antitakeover provision (good corporate governance). This supports that firm-specific return variation better measures stock price informativeness when firm has strong corporate governance framework. Our results suggest that (i) more (less) informed trading activities associated with weak (strong) corporate governance, and (ii) corporate governance explains the cross-sectional variation in information efficiency of stock prices. Our results are consistent with theories in financial market learning that investor learn from informed trading activities associated with weak governance firms and informative disclosure from strong governance firms.

Abstract:

This paper discusses how the process of governance in Nigeria over the years has been characterized by many negative indications, while the world which our government is pretending to copy is fast entrenching in every facet of its laws and practices the sanctity of life. It also discusses how our electoral and political machinery are legitimizing murder as an acceptable paradigm of settlement of even minor brushes. Governance is supposed to be articulate and organized leadership to culminate meaningful development that will bring the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. Methodologically, the study was carried out using content analysis. Various existing document such as, historical evidence, newspaper reports, journal and existing archival records were content analyzed. Thus, while democracy in Nigeria is but a sham, good governance is still far in coming. The paper found out that the political class has continued to dispose and demonstrate known military attribute like corruption, civil authoritarianism, democratic dictatorship, brazen disrespect for human life, which have led to incessant killings as a political strategy. Rather than produce good governance that will develop the State, the above scenario has produced bad governance and further increased the poverty of the Nigerian populace. The paper recommended a general reconstruction of Nigeria’s political, social and economic infrastructure.

Abstract:

State / public management that is clean from corruption, collusion, nepotism, and management of state / public resources must be transparent, open, more than that every citizen is given access to participate in influencing the management of the way --- participation. Public agencies need to be monitored, for example by Transparency Inter- national for global coverage or Indonesian Corruption Watch for national coverage. Now we have known a lot of “watchdog dogs” like that, including those covering the district / city or even village / village. Good governance is thus synonymous with transparency and participation - democratic governance. This includes the rule of law (rechtsstaatlichkeit and Berechenbarkeit). In approximately 1990 or the late 1980s the World Bank conclud- ed, that anything and any “donations” disbursed to African countries (Sub-Saharan) must be exhausted without a trace. Just like water poured over a hot desert. This phenomenon is referred to by the World Bank as bad governance, meaning poor management (money, resources). This is euphemism for, especially if it’s not corruption.

This international reports have attributed the lack of development in the developing countries to the weakness of the way the exercise of power in the management and implementation of public policies, although there are elements and mechanisms to limit the bad governance that lacks efficiency and effectiveness. The reports also noted the importance of information and the transparency of government activities, and activate the community participation, and the trend to greater decentralization and strengthening of local units so that it can raise the level of efficiency and effectiveness of local services. The urban management is a way of organizational management of public services and who knows decentralization, the introduction of the concepts of governance by giving it a new breath in the process of improving their performance and promotion of effective urban management in urban development.

Abstract:

Corporate governance is an envelope for the mechanisms, processes and relations through which corporations are controlled and guided. Consequently, corporate governance affects operational performance and, in turn, stock returns, as Gompers et al. (2003) find. In this research, we use the Korea Corporate Governance Stock Price Index (KOGI) to test a possible linkage between corporate governance and shareholder wealth in Korea.Factor mimicking portfolios sorted per KOGI are constructed to estimate a corporate governance risk factor (“good minus bad”). By augmenting this new factor to the existing factor models (Fama and French, 1993; Carhart, 1997) to fit multiply imputed data, we find evidence that corporate governanceinfluences stock pricing in Korea. Keywords: CG; Risk factor; Factor-mimicking portfolio; Long-short portfolio; Multiple imputation. JEL Classification: G11, G12, G34, C11
