Bambach, Matthew. "Maximising Board governance effectiveness in small and medium-sized Australian independent schools." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2020. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/2310.

Abstract:

My experience of working with boards of independent schools has led me to conclude that boards often struggle to know how they might make their governance more effective. Very little has been written and few empirical studies have investigated governance of independent school boards in Australia, despite the considerable responsibility and power entrusted to them. This study asks how well such boards are governing and what they could do to engender fully effective governance. Currently, there are no standards or instruments for assessing the effectiveness of board governance. This study identi

Abstract:

The 2008 financial crisis that led to the collapse of companies and economic recession in most countries has also increased the concern for transparency, accountability and regulatory oversight and once more put corporate governance and board effectiveness on the front burner of big business issues all over the world. The board is seen as a key player in governance of companies and there is need for a better understanding of how this body works. Majority of the research work in these areas has been in developed economies and not much work has been done in the area of board effectiveness in the

Abstract:

Boards of directors are considered to be the lynchpin of corporate governance in Australia (Gillan, 2006) and the roles boards play have been subject to considerable scrutiny and research. It is accepted that boards play multiple roles in governing corporations (Johnson, Daily, & Ellstrand, 1996; Nicholson & Kiel, 2007). However, there is a concern that the current regulatory emphasis on the monitoring and control role does not always lead to optimum corporate governance outcomes (Cohen, Krishnamoorthy, & Wright, 2008; MacAvoy & Millstein, 2004) and that firm performance may be degraded.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the impact of governance on charitable foundations’ financial performance. Using a sample of 3,289 Chinese charitable foundations, internal governance, external donor governance, and the external governance environment are found to be positively associated with financial performance, and there are substitutional relationships among these three governance mechanisms. Financial reporting quality is a channel through which governance influences financial performance. In addition, internal governance and external donor governance have a positive impact on the financial perform

Abstract:

The social and economic effects of high profile governance scandals such as the National Safety Council, HIH and Centro have triggered much debate, reform and research into predicting and preventing future failures. While this has meant director financial literacy is now recognised as a core capability required of each individual director, there has been little guidance on what this capability involves other than the very general statement of being able to 'read and understand financial statements'. This thesis presents the results of a Delphi study aimed at identifying the core concepts a dir

Abstract:

This thesis comprises three empirical studies that investigate the effects of director networks and corporate governance mechanisms on firm performance and CEO compensation. The first empirical study (chapter three) describes the extent of board networks among non-financial FTSE 350 firms listed on the London Stock Exchange during 2007-2010. We use the concept of the “centrality” from social network analysis to examine whether board networks are related to firm performance. We find that firms whose directors are more central in a network are associated with better financial performance. Consis

Abstract:

In recent years the field of corporate governance has been characterized by an increasing effort to gain a better understanding of the role of boards for the financial performance of a firm. The present study thereby searches to build upon the small but growing literature that focuses particularly on boards in a two-tier system. It extends the current knowledge about the effectiveness of supervisory boards by measuring the interaction of board work and firm performance and illustrates the differences and similarities between the one-tier and the two-tier system in this context.

The law and popular opinion expect boards of directors will actively monitor their organisations. Further, public opinion is that boards should have a positive impact on organisational performance. However, the processes of board monitoring and judgment are poorly understood, and board influence on organisational performance needs to be better understood.

Rules and regulations have been promulgated, and among others, the South African Schools Act, Act No. 84 of 1996, has been enacted. Rich research has also been funded with the sole intention of providing quality education to the people. Education of unacceptably poor quality has, however, been the result, as postulated by Peters

Abstract:

Boards of directors are integral to modern corporations and, consequently, receive much attention from regulators, researchers and stakeholders. Although this domain is receiving increased scrutiny, most studies have been based on relating various dimensions of board structure and composition to firm financial performance. However, such studies have failed to draw an unambiguous conclusion about the impact of board structure and composition on firm performance. Considering the importance of board dynamics on the effectiveness of the board, this study examines the characteristics of members of

Abstract:

Effective corporate governance of boards can become a sustainable competitive advantage for organisations. In the extant literature a number of reasons are cited for dysfunctional boards. Some of the reasons attributed to board failure relate to poor corporate governance, practice and oversight. Some of the reasons for board failure pertain to micromanaging of the organisation, an ineffective nominating committee, size of the board, non-functioning committee structure, absence of strategic plan, no orientation\induction plan and no rotational plan. Poor governance practises across all sectors

These failures point to the inadequacy of the model in its theoretical underpinnings that place more emphasis on compliance than moral development (acts vs virtue ethics). In this research study, the adequacy of the TLDM was assessed, as well as its effectiveness in dealing with Agency. It was further sought to establish whether co
