Riley, Beth A. "Effects of Board Training on the Relationship Between Board Members and CEOs." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2014. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc699895/.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to ascertain the opinions of chief executive officers (CEOs) and school board chairs of Texas private schools in educational service center (ESC) Regions 10 and 11 toward board training and the potential benefits for the success of their respective roles. Literature regarding private school board training is limited. As a result, most private school boards face challenges regarding school board training expectations, which could affect their roles and the roles of CEOs. The quantitative and qualitative cross-sectional research design examined Texas private school CEOs’ and school board chairs’ perceptions about school board training and the working relationships between Texas school CEOs and school boards. The researcher developed the survey and interview questions used in this study. Responses to a 4-point Likert-type scale instrument, short answer questions, and interviews were solicited from a population of private school CEO and school board chairs within ESC Regions 10 and 11 from schools with an enrollment of at least 100 students and that contained Grades 9 through 12. In-depth Interviews were conducted with 12 private school CEOs and 12 school board chairs with varying levels of school board training. The research findings indicate that board training does make a significant difference in the working relationships between CEOs and private school boards. The findings of this study may assist private school boards in addressing school board training and the components of such training, which would benefit the working relationships between CEOs and school boards, as well as the success of private schools.

Full textAbstract:
Controlling shareholders of private firms may define "value of the firm" in terms of personal utility. They may thus prioritize their personal wealth over the firm. Furthermore, agency-based corporate governance may not apply to privately owned firms. This study looked at managers and owners of private firms as potentially risky decision makers. Financial distress was positioned as a boundary to agency theory-based corporate governance for private firms. Choices of shareholders in respect of board composition and the relationship between board composition and external sources of funding were investigated. Influence on turnaround potential, of management who are also shareholders, was also considered. Data from 104 business rescue plans were used for correlation and multiple hierarchical regression analyses. The mean return to secured creditors was 94 % and the mean return to unsecured creditors was 48 %. Unexpectedly a negative correlation between number of directors and free assets was determined. Yet, in the regression model for return to secured creditors, the significant variables were total directors and free assets. It is concluded that personal surety provided by directors may be detrimental to a private firm's free assets. For unsecured creditors, the significant variables were size; management shareholding, and return to secured creditors. The study was conducted between 2011 and 2016 using secondary data drawn from actual business rescue cases. In conclusion, the agency cost of debt construct was refined and an estimate for the agency cost of distressed debt, was presented. Research findings offer improved insight into agency theory for private firms with a foundation for improved corporate governance models. Theorists may use this research to extend understanding of the theory of the firm and corporate governance. Furthermore bankruptcy and turnaround theory may be enhanced by the findings of this research. Practitioners may use the findings to refine credit risk and pricing models.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2017.

The aim of this study is to map the main aspects of corporate governance in Brazil used by publicly traded companies and analyze them from a comparative perspective, contrasting companies that have suffered Private Equity and Venture Capital investment with the remaining public firms. The investigation is a result of the companies that in fact responded to the third version of the Survey on Corporate Governance in Brazil, previously conducted in 2005 and 2007. Analysis of adherence to BM&FBovespa’s corporate governance levels show a significantly greater adherence of the PE/VC backed companies in higher listing levels. Particular characteristics of the corporate governance of companies are detailed in an attempt to determine whether the clear advantage found in the comparison among the premium listing levels extends to other issues. The findings show significant differences in certain areas, i.e. processes of the board of directors, formation of committees, external auditor, shareholders rights, disclosure and compensation of officers and directors, which can be explained by the previous relationship of the backed enterprise, the PE/VC investor and the term sheet agreed upon between the parties.

Marlin, Jeffrey A. "The National Guard, the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice, and the National Rifle Association: Public Institutions and the Rise of a Lobby for Private Gun Ownership." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2013. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/history_diss/33.
Full textAbstract:
Today, the strength of the National Rifle Association (NRA) is understood by the general public and many scholars to be dependent on the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the right of individuals to own firearms. This dissertation challenges that understanding by focusing on three organizations, the NRA, the National Guard and the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice (NBPRP). While each organization appears in today's world to be distinct and independent, this dissertation reveals how they garnered strength from a symbiotic relationship. The NRA was founded in 1871, originally as a marksmanship organization. The National Guard, which grew from the nation's militia, was formally established in the early twentieth century. The NBPRP was a small organization that was established in 1903 within the War Department at the encouragement of the NRA.
Following passage in 1903 of legislation bringing state militia units under federal control, the newly formed National Guard became dependent on the NRA, which in turn leveraged that dependence to create a nationwide grassroots organization. The NBPRP was headed by the Assistant Secretary of War until 1916 when the position of the Director of Civilian Marksmanship was created, to be held by a U.S. Army or U.S. Marine Corps officer. The NRA acted as the surrogate of the NBPRB outside of the halls of government. At the same time, the NBRPB provided the NRA with a voice within those same halls that aided in the development of federal policy and budget positions related to firearms acquisition, competition, and training.
The purpose of this dissertation is to reveal how the NRA was able to employ these two organizations to develop an exceptionally powerful grassroots organization that today is recognized as one of the most powerful special interest groups in America. Understanding how this powerful organization grew offers one perspective of how the bureaucracy that has been developed to support America's federal system of government is uniquely susceptible to special interest influence.

Full textAbstract:
Sveriges natur förknippas mer än något annat med skog. Två tredjedelar av landets drygt 40 miljoner hektar landareal täcks av skog. Av 27,1 miljoner hektar skogsmark (inklusive skyddad mark) är 23,3 miljoner hektar produktiv skogsmark. Andelen privata skogsägare uppgår till ca 330 000 personer och äger hälften av all skogsmark i Sverige samt levererar drygt 60 % av den totala råvaran till skogsindustrin. Skogsstyrelsens, och skogsvårdstyrelsernas, främsta roll har alltsedan bemyndigandet 1903 varit rådgivning till skogsägarna, ett viktigt styrmedel för att kunna förebygga lagingripanden och mildra lagstiftningen. I början av 1960-talet väcktes det diskussioner, som sedan dess har varit aktuella, om: att jordens resurser är ändliga och hur vi förvaltar dem. Det mest turbulenta årtiondet för svensk skogsvårdpolitik var 1970-talet och den tidiga miljörelaterade kritiken mot skogsbruket var inte underbyggd av forskning om miljötillståndet i skogen, utan skapades av en allmän opinion i samhället. Flertalet av de intervjuade skogsägarna uppgav att rådgivning varit viktiga vägledare för dem i deras skogsvårdsbeslut, även om det i enstaka fall fått negativa konsekvenser. Miljöhänsynens avtryck i den enskilda skogsägarens skogsvård följer i stort sett den historiska utvecklingen, det är dock inte entydigt om det i första hand berott på Skogsvårdsstyrelsens kampanjer och rådgivning. Resultatet visar att rådgivning i miljöhänsyn påverkar skogsägarnas beslut i sina val av beståndsåtgärder. Den viktigaste slutsatsen som kan dras av studien är att rådgivning, utbildning och kunskaper är de avgörande framgångsfaktorerna i det fortsatta miljövårdsarbetet. Större hänsyn till den enskilde skogsbrukarens äganderätt, erfarenheter och kännedom om sin mark är något som både myndigheter samt den allmänna opinionen bör iaktta och värdesätta.About two-thirds of Swedens land area is covered by forest. Half of the total forest land is owned by private forest owners.The purpose of this study was to describe the decades before and after the environmental concerns became self-evident in Swedish forestry, and from a forest policy perspective elucidate the introduction of environmental concerns in forest management. Interviews with private forest owners and field studys was conducted to identify specific occurences of conservation that could be linked to advisory service from The National Board of Forestry since the 1970´s. The result shows that guidance, education and skills are crucial success factors for the continuence of conservation and sustainable forestry, but also greater consideration and respect for the private forest owners property rights, experiences and knowledge.

Turismen organiseras av offentlig sektor, privata aktörer eller dessa två i samverkan och kan avgränsas på olika sätt, geografiskt eller politiskt. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka och jämföra destinationer i Sverige på lokal och regional nivå för att se hur de är organiserade, med fokus på hur offentliga och privata aktörer arbetar för destinationens utveckling. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med privata och offentliga aktörer på destinationerna Bohuslän och Stockholms skärgård har vi genomfört en komparativ studie. Studien diskuterar olika former av turismorganisationer och visar att Bohuslän och Stockholms skärgård liknar varandra i hur de är organiserade på lokal och regional nivå och att det på båda destinationerna finns samarbeten mellan offentliga och privata aktörer för att utveckla destinationerna.The tourism in Sweden is organised by the public sector, the business world or these two in collaboration. The boundaries can be either geographical or political. This study aims at study and compare Swedish tourist destinations at local regional level to find how they are organized with focus at how public sector and the business world manage destination development. Through qualitative interviews with public sector and the business world at the destinations Bohuslän and Stockholms skärgård we have a comparative study. The study discusses different types of tourist organizations and shows that Bohuslän and Stockholms skärgård are similar in the way their tourism is organized at local and regional level. At both destinations there is collaboration between the public sector and the business world to develop the destination.

In this dissertation we provide an overview of the evolution of corporate governance practices in Brazil over time based primarily in Brazilian private firms which responded to the 2005 and 2007 Brazil Corporate Governance (CG) Survey. This study address issues related to the number of independent directors and non-independent, board structure and control of companies, audit committees and fiscal board. Shareholder rights, shareholder agreements, mechanisms for transparency, and transactions with conflict of interest will also be discussed in this work. We found that the evolution of corporate governance practices has been more significant in some areas. However, others are still less adopted by Brazilian companies. Board independence is an area relatively weak: only 13% of companies in 2007, versus 11% in 2005 have 50% or more of independent directors. The number of the companies that provide takeout rights to minority shareholders on a sale of control beyond the minimum required by Brazilian law has increased. There is an increase in formality of board processes, like system to evaluate CEO, CEO succession plan, system to evaluate other officers and materials before meeting. Moreover, financial disclosure has improved considerably during this period.
Nesta dissertação, nós fornecemos um panorama da evolução das práticas de governança corporativa no Brasil ao longo do tempo com base preliminarmente em empresas privadas brasileiras que responderam o Survey de Governança Corporativa no Brasil realizado em 2005 e 2007. Este estudo aborda questões relacionadas com o número de conselheiros independentes e não independentes, conselho de administração, controle das companhias, comitês de auditoria e conselho fiscal. Direitos dos acionistas, acordos de acionistas, mecanismos de transparência e de transações com conflito de interesse, também serão discutidos neste trabalho. Constatamos que a evolução das práticas de governança corporativa tem sido mais significativa em algumas áreas. Todavia, outros ainda são menos adotados pelas empresas brasileiras. Independência do conselho é uma área relativamente fraca: apenas 13% das empresas em 2007, contra 11% em 2005 tem 50% ou mais conselheiros independentes. O número de empresas que fornece direitos de proteção aos acionistas minoritários em uma venda do controle, além do mínimo exigido pela lei brasileira, aumentou. Há um aumento da formalidade dos processos do conselho, como sistema de avaliação de CEO, plano de sucessão de CEO, sistema para avaliar outros diretores e o envio de materiais antes da reunião. Além disso, divulgações de informações financeiras melhoram consideravelmente durante este período.

Mestrado em FinançasEste trabalho tem como objectivo proceder a uma análise em torno da questão do governo das sociedades, mais concretamente das empresas privadas e, também, as empresas públicas ou com participação pública. Motivada a temática devido à importância do Corporate Governance, principalmente após os escândalos societários ocorridos com diversas empresas ao longo do século XX, ir-se-á comparar as governações privadas e públicas, em virtude do imperativo de uma cada vez maior necessidade de competitividade das empresas públicas e, assim, de práticas de remuneração mais próximas das sociedades de índole privada que permitam atrair e reter bons profissionais. Assim sendo, a presente oportunidade de investigação irá proceder ao escrutínio sobre hipotéticas diferenças na governação de sociedades públicas e públicas. Para tal, ir-se-á analisar uma amostra composta por 20 sociedades privadas e 20 sociedades públicas, com base nos critérios de presença em bolsa de valores e de maior activo, respectivamente. Para tal estudo empírico, abordar-se-ão um conjunto alargado de métricas, desde a dimensão e desempenho das organizações, até à alavancagem das mesmas, passando, invariavelmente, pela discussão em torno da estrutura e características do conselho de administração e pelas práticas de remuneração. A análise estatística parece demonstrar a existência de diferenças significativas entre os tipos de sociedades, principalmente quando se aborda a questão das práticas ou políticas remuneratórias.
This research pretends to carry out an objective analysis concerning the issue of corporate governance, comprehending the privately owned companies and State owned companies. Motivated due to the importance of Corporate Governance thematic, especially after the corporate scandals that took place in several companies throughout the twentieth century, it will be compared the private and public, under the imperative of increasing competition from companies including public thus, the compensation practices closer to the privately organized companies. Therefore, this research opportunity will proceed to vote on hypothetical differences in the governance of public companies and private. To do this, it is analysed a sample of 20 private companies and 20 public companies, based on the criteria of presence in the stock market and highest total assets, respectively. This empirical study will be address a broad set of metrics, comprehending the size and performance of organizations, leverage and specially addressing the discussion on the structure and characteristics of the Board and the remuneration practices. The statistical analysis seems to demonstrate the existence of significant differences between the types of companies, especially when dealing with the issue of remuneration policies and practices.

Full textAbstract:
I denna uppsats studeras hur avvägningarna mellan allmänna och enskilda intressen hanteras avde dömande organen och hur de olika sakägarna resonerar utifrån de olika intressena. Arbetet har genomförts som en fallstudie där fyra olika byggprojekt studerats. Gemensamt för alla är att de ligger i Stockholms innerstad och har mött motstånd i form av överklaganden. Det finns lite olika definitioner för vad allmänintresset är, somliga menar att allmänintresset är ensammanslagning av flera enskilda intressen medan andra definierar att det bestäms av folkets valda representanter. Det ideologiska tillvägagångsättet som diskuteras är utilitarism, enhetligt, rättighetsbaserad ochdialogbaserad. För att tolka domstolarna domslut används fjäder- och balansvågsmodellen där fjädervågsmodellen symboliserar gränsen för vad man som sakägare är skyldig att tåla. Balansvågsmodellen symboliserar det beslut som tas baserat på de sammanvägda för- och nackdelarna. Det första fallet är kvarteret Plankan 24 där Svenska Bostäder vill bygga nya bostäder i den oexploaterade innergården, planen har mötts av kritik från de boende som menar att luftkvaliteten, bullernivåerna, ljusinsläpp, rekreationsytor, barnens miljö och kulturmiljön avsevärt kommer att försämras. Mark och miljööverdomstolen anser att de skäl som de klagande åberopat inte är tillräckliga för att planen inte ska genomföras. Fall nummer två handlar om Orgelpipan 6, en hotellbyggnadskomplex och en av citybanans uppgångar mittemot centralstationen. De klagande menar bland annat att ett nytt hotell kommer att skapa obalans på en redan obalanserad marknad, att ljusförutsättningarna kommer att försämras och att byggnaden kommer att för skada Stockholm. Länsstyrelsen anser inte att deklagomål som kommit in är tillräckliga för att planen inte ska vinna laga kraft. Det tredje fallet handlar om Mårtensdal 6, ett kontorskomplex som ska bli 125 meter högt. De klagande är befintliga hyresgäster som anser att deras verksamhet inte ska behöva flytta och Fortum Värme AB som anser att höjden på byggnaden riskerar att inskränka deras verksamhet pga. att den är högre än deras egen skorsten. Mark- och miljööverdomstolen beslutar att Fortums överklagande bör accepteras och upphäver därför planen pga. av allmänintresset. Det sista fallet är byggandet av Nobel Center på Blasieholmen bakom Nationalmuseum. De klagande är gemensamt emot planen då det kommer påverka riksintresset och kulturmiljön. I Mark- och miljödomstolens domslut går man på de klagandes linje och upphäver planen för att planen innebär påtaglig skada på kulturmiljön och riksintresset. Den ideologi som tycktes vara den som tillämpades mest var en blandning mellan utilitarismenoch enhetliga. Den rättighetsbaserad ideologin användes inte alls och den dialogbaserade är något som används tidigare i planprocessen. Något entydigt samband i domstolarnasbedömningar har dock inte kunnat konstaterats, det kan bero på att varje fall är unikt och har dess egna förutsättningar. Kommunen och övriga sakägare resonerar på olika sätt när det kommer till avvägningar mellan allmänna och enskilda intressen. Generellt gör kommunen avvägningar genom ett utilitaristiskt och enhetligt tillvägagångsätt medan sakägarna använder olika tillvägagångssätt beroende påom de representerar ett företag, en förening eller är en privatperson.This paper examines how the balances between public and private interests are handled by the appeals court and how the different stakeholder’s reason based on the different interests. The work has been carried out as a case study in which four different construction projects were studied. Common to all is that they are in Stockholm's inner city and have met with resistance in the form of appeals. There are slightly different definitions for what the public interest is,some believe that the public interest is a combination of several individual interests, while others define that it is decided by the elected representatives of the people. The ideological approach under discussion is utilitarianism, unitary, rights-based and dialogical. To interpret the court's verdict, the dynanometer and beam scale model is used wherethe dynamometer model symbolizes the boundary of what you as a stakeholder are obliged toendure. The beam scale model symbolizes the decision that is made based on the weighted pros and cons. The first case is Kv. Plankan 24, where Svenska Bostäder wants to build new housing in the undeveloped courtyard, the plan has been met by criticism from the residents who believe that the air quality, noise levels, day light, recreation areas, children's environment and the cultural environment will deteriorate significantly. The Land and environmental court consider that the reasons cited by the complainants are not sufficient for the plan not to be implemented. Case number two is about Kv. Orgelpipan 6, a hotel building complex and one of the new entrances for the new commuter track, Citybanan. The complainants believe, among otherthings, that a new hotel will create imbalance in an already unbalanced market, that the lighting conditions will deteriorate and that the building will harm the character of Stockholm. The County Administrative Board does not consider that the complaints received are sufficient for the plan not to get implemented. The third case is about Mårtensdal 6, an office complex that will be 125 meters high. The complainants are existing tenants who feel that their business should not need to relocate and Fortum Värme AB who believes that the height of the building risks reducing their business because it is higher than their own chimney. The Land and environmental court decide that Fortum's appeal should be accepted because the public interest of Fortums appeal is greater than the office building to be higher than the chimney. The last case is the construction of the Nobel Center at Blasieholmen behind the NationalMuseum. The complainants jointly oppose the plan as it will affect the national interest and the historical culture environment. The Land and Environmental Court cancels the plan because it involves significant damage to the historical cultural environment and the national interest. The ideology that seemed to be the one most applied for the court was a mix between utilitarianism and unitary. The rights-based ideology was not used at all and the dialogue-based is something that is used earlier in the planning process. However, no clear connection in the judgments of the courts has been found, it may be because each case is unique and has its ownconditions. The municipality and the other stakeholders reasoning in different ways when it comes to the delimitation of public and private interests. In general, the municipality balances through autilitarian and uniform approach, while the business owners use different approaches depending on whether they represent a company, an association, or a private person.

Análise do controle dos atos societários submetidos a registro no âmbito das Juntas Comerciais, que são responsáveis pela execução do Registro Público de Empresas Mercantis (RPEM). Para cumprir este desiderato, inicialmente, foi realizado um estudo sobre a evolução histórica do Registro de Comércio abordando o seu surgimento, principalmente, na França e em Portugal, países que serviram de base para análise comparativa do controle dos atos societários que é desenvolvido nestas nações. Nesta linha, deu-se enfoque à evolução histórica do Registro de Comércio no Brasil, buscando-se fazer um contraponto com o Registro Empresarial experimento hodiernamente. Posteriormente, foram delineados os fundamentos, a função do RPEM e a natureza jurídica da Junta Comercial. Neste diapasão, tentou-se delimitar a incidência da hermenêutica jurídica nas decisões proferidas no RPEM. Demonstrando quais os efeitos fáticos que o RPEM produz e como deve ocorrer o saneamento dos vícios encontrados antes e após o arquivamento do documento. Por derradeiro, analisou-se a natureza jurídica do controle dos atos societários e quais os limites para o exame das formalidades legais dos atos societários, analisando-se, inclusive, decisões judiciais proferidas pelo Poder Judiciário do Estado do Rio de Janeiro que visaram limitar ou não o poder de ingerência dos examinadores da Junta Comercial. Dentro deste mote, o estudo procurou delimitar a responsabilidade civil da Junta Comercial e dos seus agentes que realizam o controle dos atos societários.

Low birth rates in the demography in recent years impose great pressure on the operation of private schools. Besides government subsidies, private schools also need external funding. Therefore, the operating performance of a school is of great importance to its subsidy and fundraising. The study focuses on private (vocational) high school boards and explores whether board structure and religious support will influence their operating performance. Based on factors of private (vocational) high schools, including board size, rearrangement of board members and support by religious organizations, the study discusses their influence on school operating performance, with 173 items of financial and non-financial data of private (vocational) high schools in the 2011 and 2012 academic years as evidence. Using Tobit regression analysis results, the study shows that a positive correlation exists between rearrangement of board chairman of private (vocational) high schools and their operating performance, while a negative correlation is evident between religious support and operating performance. In terms of other variables, the longer the term of a principal, the more negative the operating performance turns out, while the longer a school has been established and the more students it has, the more positive its operating performance turns out. The study results prove that rearrangement of board chairman of private (vocational) high schools and religious support have significant influence on the schools’ operating performance. These factors can be used as indices to measure the operating performance of private (vocational) high schools and serve as reference for education regulatory department in implementing policies in the future.

The boards of directors of private colleges in Taiwan were selected as the research subjects. Using published financial documents from 2009 to 2011 the study investigated the relationship between the board structure and the financial risk of private schools using regression model analysis. Empirical evidence showed that that there is a positive correlation between financial risks and the compensation of directors and supervisors. This indicates that the amount of compensation that the directors and supervisors receive is related to the potential financial risk in terms of entrenchment. The results showed a negative correlation between financial risk and the size of the board which shows that a large board can better maintain its checks and balances and in turn lower the financial risks faced by the school. This study can be used as a reference for academic research government agencies and authorities to evaluate the financial risks faced by schools.

The South African economic landscape changed for ever after the first democratic
election of 1994. The change heralded an era of inclusion, the economic landscape
became open to people from all races, whereas before economic power was
centralised in the hands of a minority group due to Apartheid legislation.
Exploring the relationship of diversity of board members on the corporate
governance of small, micro and medium enterprises (SMME’s) in South Africa has
become imperative. Understanding the relationship, if any, which exists can aid
SMME’s in board selection and corporate governance alike.
Data for the study was collected through a self-enumerated questionnaire completed
electronically and followed-up by interviews with heads of boards surveyed. Both the
questionnaire and the interviews focussed on corporate governance, which included
different components of governance such as the general principles of governance
followed in the enterprise, the stakeholder focus exerted by the board of directors
and the functioning of the board of directors. This resulted in a score for the
enterprise which can be expressed as a percentage. This governance indicator was
related to questions on the diversity of board members.
The findings were in many cases contradictive when a single variable was observed
against the score an enterprise achieved for governance. When taking a more
holistic approach and evaluating multiple variables, it became evident that it is rather
a combination of variables which displays some relationship with corporate
governance.
This study found that board diversity does have a relationship with corporate
governance. The magnitude of this relationship could not be ascertained and
warrants further research in a wider spectrum of the South African economy and also
with a larger group of subjects.Business Management

This article conducted empirical research on the involvementof Taiwan private establishedFoundation (hereinafter the Foundation) inthe listed companies, finding that many companies’controlling shareholder or major shareholder substantially use Section 27 of Taiwan Companies Act to make the Foundation be elected as legal per-son director or supervisor, or to interfere with the director’s election of companies by their high shareholding .It was also foundin the statistical analysis that the board of directors of such Foundations wascomposed of a particular group, and such Foundationshave a tendency of privatization or family. The article also conducted a comparative study in the legislation of Japan, Ger-many, Austria and the UnitedStateson Foundation, and exploredthe appropriateness of Foundation’s operation from the perspective ofcorporate governance and social welfaredevelopment. This article argued that the operation mode of Foundation in Taiwan, wouldresult in increasing agency cost and violating shareholders’ right, andaffecting thecorporate governance of Taiwan’s affiliatedcompanies; while as for the perspective ofsocial welfare, this operation would also make the Foundation bear the responsibility of directors and supervisors or the liability as shadow directors, and thus underminingthe Foundation’spurpose ofsustainable promotion ofcharity, making the resources unabletobe really implementedon welfare promotion, and causingthe draft lawof Foundationto be shelved. Finally, with reference totheamendment of Part 3 of Section 146 of Taiwan’s newly-amended insurance law, this article recommendedthatthe authorities shouldlimit Foundation’s intervention with corporate governance of listed company. It was alsosuggestedthat the applicable subjects of Section27 of Taiwan Companies Actshould be reduced and the independence of the Foundation directorsshould be in-creased, hoping to strengthen Taiwan’s corporate governance and to efficiently allo-cate resources of the Foundation on the purpose to promote social welfare.

Abstract: This study aimed to explore the influence of the organization structures of the board of trustee upon school management strategies in private senior high schools. The study takes case study chiefly. After literature review, the researcher finishes the interview guideline which is made up with two parts--the board of trustees’ organization and school managements strategies. Then, the interview guideline is revised according to the experts’ opinions. The interview is under taken after the revised guideline and is finished by two scholars. Semi-structured interviewing is taken as the main tool to require more information. After analyzing the data, the researcher generalizes some conclusions: 1. the headmaster selection strategies: (a)Running a school successfully has already become an important norm of being a school principal, and it is also the basic requirement for them to extend their contract. (b)Educational vision is the most important factor of the principals selection. 2. public relations strategies: The board of trustees create official and non-official communication channels with teacher and school administrator. 3.school activity supervision strategies: Different organization structures of the board of trustee make significant effect to school activity supervision strategies. 4.financial management strategies： (a)Enterprise-aimed trustee had higher fund raising potential. (b) Different organization structures of the board of trustee make no significant effect to financial supervision ways. This study concluded with several suggestions for the ministry of education and private senior high school managers, as well as for researchers for further studies.

The regulation of the private security industry has been an issue of debate for a number of years in
South Africa, as well as in the rest of the world. The debate mainly centers around issues such as the
need for regulation in this Industry and the objectives of regulation. This thesis argues that regulation
is of utmost importance in this Industry and furthermore, that the objective ofregulation should be
to set standards in the Industry. If this is the case, the protection of the public interest will be a
natural result of regulating the standards.
In addition, this thesis argues for the inclusion of the private investigator into the scope of regulation
and suggests that this sector should ultimately be regulated through the means of separate legislation.
This thesis furthermore provides two models for the regulation of the private security industry in
South Africa. These models are described as the Semi-Integrated Wide Model (SIWM) and the Fully
Integrated Wide Model (FIWM). These two models provide Government with the option of
regulating the Industry without alienating the latter. Government will still have the ultimate
responsibility for regulation, but will allow the Industry to be central in setting standards and
requirements. In this way, the Industry will not regulate itself and Government will have the ultimate
responsibility of protecting the interests of the public and the StatePolice Practice

Reconhecendo a crescente importância do mercado de private equity, a presente tese tem como objectivo principal estudar a dimensão competitiva desta indústria.
Recorrendo a amostras de empresas americanas e canadianas, pretende-se saber se as transacções em private equity têm algum impacte ao nível das concorrentes das empresas participadas. Em particular, considera-se a compensação total do CEO e analisa-se de forma independente cada uma das suas componentes, a fixa e a variável. A estrutura de capital e as características do Conselho de Administração são também alvo de estudo.
De acordo com os resultados, a compensação total do CEO diminui perante a existência de investimentos em private equity na indústria. Analisando individualmente a componente fixa e a variável, conclui-se que, muito provavelmente, aquele decréscimo ocorre por via da parte variável da remuneração, já que esta, de acordo com os dados finais, é também reduzida. O salário não sofre alterações.
Relativamente à estrutura de capital, identifica-se uma relação entre a ocorrência de investimentos em private equity e um maior nível de endividamento das concorrentes.
Não existe evidência de que as variáveis do Conselho de Administração, isto é, a sua dimensão e estrutura, sejam afectadas pela presença de empresas participadas por private equity.Given the growing importance of the private equity market, in this thesis we study the competitive dimension of this industry. By using samples of American and Canadian companies we analyse whether private equity transactions have any effect on the competitors of the invested companies. In particular, we consider the total CEO compensation and its fixed and variable components. We are also interested in the capital structure and in board variables. We provide evidence supporting a reduction in the total CEO compensation of competitors when an investment in private equity occurs. In order to better understand this result we run the model with the fixed component and the variable one. We then show that the variable compensation is very likely the main responsible for that reduction. Concerning the capital structure, the findings suggest an association between private equity transactions and a higher debt level of competitors. According to the results, the board variables, which consist of the size and the structure of the board of directors, are not affected by the presence of private equity investments.

Although private family organisations are prevalent role players in both the South African and international economies, limited research has been performed with regard to them. In terms of regulatory requirements, South African private organisations are neither legally required to comply with corporate governance principles, nor are they
required to make their financial data available to the general public. Lack of available data, and limited available research, have resulted in an absence of clarity with regard to whether governance structures in private family organisations add any value to these organisations. This study therefore explores, through the use of a multiple-case study,
how the individual private family organisations have structured their governance mechanisms, and the reasons as to why they chose to implement these structures. Both case studies revealed that governance structures, in general, add value. The implemented governance structures may even have contributed to the increase in
financial performance over time.Management Accounting

The revision of Taiwan’s Securities and Exchange Act which was approved in February 2002 made it possible for public companies to raise funds through private placement, creating a new source of funding for these companies. Unlike a public offering, private placement provides opportunities for stock price manipulation. The extent of the discount offered in private placement can impact on the rights of existing shareholders, and the change in the firm’s equity structure resulting from the private placement can lead to a struggle between shareholders and management for control over the company. This paper is the first to examine the impact of changes in a firm’s board of directors and supervisors and in its business valuation on the extent of the discount offered in private placement. The study also takes into account the impact of variables that include the enterprise structure and ownership structure. The empirical results show a positive correlation between the number of seats on the board of directors that private placement investors expect to receive and the size of the discount, which is the opposite of what the researchers expected to find. This study infers private placement investors do not have enough confident to the private placement enterprise management strategy; therefore, investors would like to monitor enterprise managers with effectively method. Regarding business valuation, a significant negative correlation was found between the PER valuation model and the size of the discount.

The purpose of this study is to explore the interaction between principals and boards of di-rectors of private high schools and its influences on operation of school affairs. Through in-depth interviews with personnel related in the case, the researcher attempts to understand the operation of the board of directors, interaction between the principal and the board of di-rectors and the influence of the interaction on operation of school affairs. The researcher has the following findings and concrete conclusions. I. A sound organization operation helps promotion of school affairs: To achieve the goals of the policies, it is required to have the entire staff understand the goals and visions of the organization publicly and periodical performances evaluation is neces-sary. During the implementation of policies, veridical and horizontal communication chan-nels have to be established to help division of labor and coordination of operation. II. Interaction model between the board of directors and the principal in the case: The board of directors publicly supports the authorization of the new principal and gradu-ally reduces the supervision. In the school affair operation, it trusts the leadership of the new principal. Other than the legal functions, the board does not interfere with the policies of school affairs. In return of the authorization from the board, the principal poses good per-formances of enrollment. In the interaction, the new principal adheres to the faith of profes-sionalism to win consensus of the board of directors through communication and scientific data and is responsible for the success of the policies. III. Over interference or lack of interference in the school affairs by the board of directors af-fects development of school affairs: To obtain the input of funds from the board of directors, the principal has to develop a good interaction relationship with the directors. The principal has to insist on the faith of professionalism to have autonomy of school management. How to achieve the balance re-quires the wisdom of the principal. It is our finding that the principal in our case is highly ap-proved at such operation.

The new corporate dynamics reflects the influences of the economies and commercial policies and is manifested by a growing gap between the governing bodies of the companies, especially in private limited companies. The central role of the shareholders has been losing strength in the field of control and management of private limited companies. Increased autonomy and independence of the management body implies greater oversight of their performance. The board's resolutions concretize the implementation of management and, therefore, we must understand how the current legal regime in Portugal and in the Comparative Law allows them to be monitored and through which instruments can administrators themselves, the supervisory board or the shareholders react against its invalid resolutions. Besides the possibility of using internal means of control, we will study whether these can be directly challengeable through court.

A presente dissertação aborda a problemática do regime de impugnação das
deliberações do conselho de administração nas sociedades anónimas, em particular, os
mecanismos de reação às invalidades das suas deliberações. No paradigma atual, fruto da
nova dinâmica societária, o órgão executivo surge como o centro de tomada das decisões
mais relevantes das sociedades anónimas em detrimento da assembleia geral. Competindo
ao conselho de administração gerir a sociedade, e cabendo-lhe, nessa medida, praticar
todos os atos conducentes à realização do objeto social, é inegável a relevância de que se
revestem as suas deliberações. A crescente importância do órgão de gestão no controlo e
gestão das sociedades anónimas exige a correspondente responsabilização dos seus
membros, bem como uma agilização da sindicância da sua atuação. Neste contexto
importa compreender o regime legal vigente no ordenamento jurídico nacional para a
arguição das invalidades das deliberações do conselho de administração, através das quais
aquele órgão concretiza a execução da gestão das sociedades anónimas. Recorrendo a
uma análise do direito comparado e da jurisprudência e doutrina nacionais, urge
interpretar o preceito legal em vigor no ordenamento jurídico português, por forma a
aferir da possibilidade de reação contenciosa sem o recurso prévio e necessário a um
mecanismo interno de controlo das invalidades das deliberações do conselho de
administração, tendo presente que no atual contexto sócio económico tempo também é

In the current paradigm, resulted of the new corporate dynamics, the executive body emerges as the center for making the most relevant decisions of private limited companies, to the detriment of the general meeting. The board of directors is responsible for managing the company, and it is responsible for carrying out all acts leading to the realization of the corporate purpose, therefore, the relevance of its decisions is undeniable. The growing importance of the management body in the control and management of private limited companies requires the corresponding accountability of its members, as well as streamlining the control of its activities. In this context, it is important to understand the legal regime in force in the national legal system for arguing the invalidity of the resolutions of the board of directors, through which that executive body carries out the management of private limited companies. Using an analysis of comparative law and national jurisprudence and doctrine, it is urgent to interpret the legal precept in force in the Portuguese legal system, in order to assess the possibility of contentious reaction without the prior and necessary recourse to an internal mechanism for controlling the invalidity of resolutions of the board of directors, bearing in mind that in the current socio-economic context time is also money.

After 1997, several private boards of trustee of colleges were dismissed by Ministry of Education because of breaking the law in Taiwan; The MOE select outside independent directors make up what is called “nonprofit board”. The purposes of the study are as follows: 1. To examine if it is workable when a private college board consisted of all outside independent directors. 2. The similarities and differences of authority operation of the private board and non-profit board correlated to the college performance. 3. On the perspectives of corporate government , exploring the colleges internal and external control mechanism , especially focus on comparing the private board with non-profit board of directors ‘performance on decision transparency , information disclosure and board social responsibility . This research has chosen case study method to investigate. There are total six private colleges been studied? According to the 35 interviewees’ data collected and secondary data, the research analyzes and foumulate14 important propositions. Following are the main conclusions: 1. The functions and authority operation of the nonprofit board and general private board of private Taiwanese college shown significant differences... 2. The president seems hold the real power governing the non-profit board’s college, whereas, the presidents in the general private college show lower decision power on personnel, especially the accountant, purchasing executives and personnel office, etc. 3. Both the non-profit and general private board of directors do not set up proper systematic evaluation on college president’ performance. 4. Almost all of the non-profit board of director is unable to raise fund for school. They even disagree that solving financial difficulties are their duty. However, the general private board of directors is possible providing funds to help the school’s important constructions. 5. There are significant improvements on internal financial control and legal system on those colleges governed by non-profit board of directors. 6. Both non-profit board and the general private board show no significant differences on influencing neither college performance nor teacher’s satisfaction level. 7. The non-profit board of directors are composed of elite’s scholars and experts. Their social status can really enhance the college’s social reputation and image. Whereas, the general private board of directors are mostly cognized as “All for Making Money” In conclusion, the researcher proposes some suggestions: 1. Suggest the MOE should help or support the non-profit board of directors solving the colleges’ previous problems caused by the old private board. 2. MOE should implement even more the supervision of the college. But supervise and does not control. Some administrate regulations should be more loose to increase private colleges’ global competition. 3. Inviting the independent outside directors to be directors of the private College Board is worthy and suggestive. Because the outside directors are helpful in setting up school systems and transparency of information. 4. Suggest the follow-up study to increase more data on other private college boards for further comparison and quantitative research.

By the use of surveys and analyses, suggestions are proposed to the boards and the authorities of education as guidelines of operation control and policy making in relation to strengthening the function of the boards. With a view to reaching the above-mentioned goal, literature analyses, methods of comparative studies, search for data on the relevant organizational operation and authority effectiveness of the private institutions and boards of trustee in Taiwan were widely applied to this research as the basis of substantive surveys and the designs of formulating the concepts concerned. In this research “Questionnaire of Basic Data Concerning Boards of Trustee, Corporate Private Universities” and “ Questionnaire Concerning Current Operation on Boards of Trustee of Private Universities” were employed. The former focuses on the gleanings of basic organizational operation and authority effectiveness owned by these boards among 69 private institutions and the total usable number of the questionnaires returned was 48. The latter, among 1200 questionnaires to the personnel related to college affairs and boards, the total usable number of the questionnaires returned was 800, a return rate of 66.67﹪, emphasizes the use of 5-point measuring table, plus the statistic methods such as ANOVA, multiple comparisons and analysis of regression, analyzing the differences among people with different sexes, ages, occupations, length of service, academic degrees, educational backgrounds and work places. At the last stage, focusing symposiums were held as a complementary method to decrease the weakness of quantitative analysis. The main findings of this research are as follows: 1.The variations of the personnel’s backgrounds made differences in their perception of the organizational effectiveness of the boards of private universities. 2.The variations of the personnel’s backgrounds made differences in their perception of the operational effectiveness of the boards of private universities. 3.The variations of the personnel’s backgrounds made differences in their perception of the authority effectiveness of the boards of private universities. 4.The subjects’ perception and consensus on the organizational effectiveness, operational effectiveness and authorities effectiveness on the boards of private universities are not very different from the current state of the boards. According to the above conclusions, the following suggestions are made: 1.The Ministry of Education should deregulate the rules over private schools, like those in USA or Japan, to elevate their competitiveness. 2.The organizational function and operational effectiveness on the boards of private universities should be enhanced. More purview of decision power should be authorized to the board. 3.In responding to the social changes, the evaluation on the boards and presidents of the private universities should be put into practice, in order to produce the supervisory effects. 4.There are still many problems existed among the boards of the private universities. The further studies concerned should be encouraged and supported; so as to cope with the educational problems of private universities.

Thèse par articles. Articles (4) annexés à la thèse en fichiers complémentaires.Les bases de données populationnelles (gouvernementales, biobanques) occupent l’espace de la santé et des politiques publiques depuis longtemps. Les données personnelles qui y sont contenues sont toutefois soumises à une pression nouvelle, de par la valeur qu’elles représentent pour la recherche populationnelle. L’étude des maladies communes nécessitent de grands échantillons pour produire des résultats statistiquement significatifs. D’ailleurs, les collaborations internationales et initiatives de réseautage se multiplient. Les bases de données populationnelles agissent alors en synergie, générant de nombreux bénéfices pour la société (ex. : identifier des facteurs de risques, mieux connaître l’épidémiologie humaine, stimuler les économies nationales, etc.). Dans ce système complexe, les intérêts des acteurs (sujets de recherche, chercheurs, comités d’éthique – CÉR -, gouvernements, organismes subventionnaires) déterminent l’action et les normes applicables. La recherche avec des sujets humains et l’utilisation massive de données personnelles comportent de nombreuses sensibilités. Des balises juridiques ont été érigées pour protéger les personnes et leur vie privée, mais elles s’avèrent inadéquates dans un contexte de recherche populationnelle. L’obligation d’obtenir un nouveau consentement pour chaque utilisation, l’incapacité des CÉR locaux à représenter une population et la multiplication des disparités normatives entre juridictions sont autant de barrières qui se dressent. Après avoir exploré différents modèles normatifs internationaux (patrimoine commun de l’humanité, biens publics mondiaux, modèles dits libres), le modèle en réseau apparaît comme le plus apte à rallier les différents niveaux de gouvernance impliqués (individuel, populationnel et international). La création d’un réseau de ressources collectives pour la recherche populationnelle est ici proposée. La recherche scientifique est une finalité compatible aux autres utilisations pour lesquelles les données ont été collectées. Les bases de données sont maintenues pour servir l’utilité publique. Le réseau devrait donc faciliter l’accès aux projets de recherche populationnelle socialement utiles, ou dans l’intérêt public. Pour qu’un tel réseau fonctionne, la population devrait être sensibilisée à la valeur des données personnelles pour la recherche, des liens directs entre CÉR devraient être créés afin de favoriser l’empuissancement des acteurs locaux, les initiatives internationales et locales devraient s’influencer de manière réflexive. L’État, en tant que gardien des données personnelles et promoteur de la recherche, agirait comme coordonnateur du système avec pour objectif, d’optimiser l’utilisation des données personnelles à des fins de recherche populationnelle.
Populational databases (governmental databases and biobanks) have been effective tools in the field of public health and policy making. The personal data stored in these databases are central to identifying the risks of diseases in population-based research. Many initiatives of networking, collaborative research and implementation of electronic health records are deployed in the world. Population-based research depends on synergy between populational databases due to the large sample size of data that is needed to obtain statistical significance. In the complex system of public research, the various interests of agents involved (e.g. research subjects, researchers, research ethics boards (REBs), governments, funding agencies) collectively determine the applicable strategies and norms. Research involving human subjects and the extensive use of personal data raises numerous issues. Ethical and legal requirements have been set up to protect dignity and privacy. However, these requirements are not adequate for population-based research. Issues of re-consent for secondary uses; the limited reach of local REBs; and discrepancies between jurisdictions present barriers to population-based research. In a comparative study of international normative models (Common Heritage of Mankind, Global Public Goods, Commons), ‘network governance’ seems the most appropriate model to link the various governance structures that are implicated in population-based research (e.g. individual, populational and international). The creation of a Collective Resources Network for population-based research is proposed for this purpose. Scientific research is compatible with other uses for which consent has been obtained. Databases are maintained for public utility. This network should facilitate population-based research that is socially useful or in the public interest. To be effective, the value of personal data in scientific research must be recognized; REBs should be empowered by the creation of direct links between them; and international and local initiatives should be integrated in a reflexive manner. The State, both as the steward of personal data and the promoter of innovative research, should act as the coordinator of the system, with the objective of optimizing the use of personal data for population-based research.

Full textAbstract:
Higher education in post-independence Kenya from 1963 to 2009 has been characterized by rapid expansion - both in terms of student enrolment and in a sharp increase in the number of both private and public universities. While national and institutional mechanisms, such as the establishment of a revolving fund, the Higher Education Loans Board and the introduction of the Privately Sponsored Students Programme, have been initiated to address the sharp demand for higher education against a backdrop of diminishing financial support, violent student unrest - which seriously undermined these efforts - has persisted. A sustained period of student unrest has characterized Kenya‟s higher education. This has manifested itself in the form of violent protests, riots, boycotts and strikes. Statistics indicate that the intensity/frequency and violence of the strikes has steadily increased over the years. For example, between 1969 and 2000 sixty-nine cases of student strikes were recorded at all the public universities. Of these cases, twenty-two (31.88%) occurred within a time span of 20 years (1969-1989) while forty-seven cases (68.12%) occurred in a short period of just one decade (1990-2000).At Moi University twenty-four cases of strikes, which affected its colleges and campuses, were recorded between 1985 and 2009. In terms of radical policy adaptation at both national and institutional levels, one would expect a downward trend in unrest. Instead, however, the frequency and intensity of violence associated with strikes has increased at an alarming rate with several deaths being reported.
As such, this study has investigated the factors that have contributed to, and informed, a sustained period of student unrest with a specific focus on Moi University in order to identify policy lessons. Global, national and institutional aspects were examined. A case study strategy was applied - with Moi University as its focus. Data was collected through an in-depth review of the relevant literature, document analysis and interviews. Past and present senior management staff members at Moi University, including Deans of Faculties, Deans of Students, Heads of Departments, and Heads of Sections as well as former student leaders were interviewed. The study concludes in its findings that the university is operating within a highly dynamic and unstable social-political environment, leading to the emergence of inadequate policy adaptations. The resultant shortcomings in the operations of the university attract the wrath of an informed student population in the form of unrest. The students action is not however simply reactionary, as they too, as change agents have their own agenda that evolves over time as they seize opportunities created by the policy shortcomings to pursue it. The study summarized the salient factors responsible for the violent unrest in five broad thematic areas. These include: (i) Unrest associated with flawed international and national policies and social pressure; (ii) Unrest associated with critical national issues and identification with progressive change agents; (iii) Unrest associated with student politics;(iv) Unrest associated with social identity and threats of their welfare from organized groups; and (v) Unrest associated with the prevalence of institutional catalyzing factors. A typical strike develops through four main phases: (i) The development/ brewing phase; (ii) The heightened tension phase; (iii) The full blown strike phase; and (iv) The dissipation/uneasy calm phase. Organizational disequilibrium describes the general state of instability characterizing the university, while organizational paranoia is associated with instances of devastating strikes during a heightened tension phase. A strike matrix of Spontaneous vs Orchestrated and Flash vs Protracted typify the strikes. Unrest has led to the disruption of academic programmes; the destruction of property and deaths; a loss of critical study time; and damage to students‟ careers caused by suspensions and expulsions. The need for a well-considered policy that involves exhaustive consultation with all the stake-holders emerges as critical for the future stability of universities.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2013.
