This PPT slide, part of the 27-slide Corporate Governance: Guide for SMEs PowerPoint presentation, presents a comparative analysis of corporate governance systems across 4 distinct regions: Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Latin, and Japan. Each column outlines key attributes of governance, reflecting the diversity in practices and structures.
The "System" section categorizes countries under each governance model. The Anglo-Saxon model includes the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia, while the Germanic model encompasses Germany, the Netherlands, and several Nordic countries. Latin countries include France, Italy, and Spain, with Japan standing alone in its governance approach.
The "Concept of Firm" row highlights differing ownership philosophies. The Anglo-Saxon model is characterized as instrumental and shareholder-owned, contrasting with the institutional focus seen in the Germanic and Latin models, and the institutional nature of Japanese firms.
In the "Board System" section, the Anglo-Saxon model employs a one-tier board structure, whereas the Germanic model utilizes a two-tier system. The Latin model offers flexibility, with an optional one-tier setup in France, while Japan has a unique structure involving auditors and representative directors.
The "Salient Stakeholder(s)" row illustrates the primary stakeholders in each model. Anglo-Saxon governance emphasizes shareholders, while the Germanic system includes industrial banks and employees. Latin governance considers financial holdings and government influence, and Japan focuses on city banks and other financial institutions.
Performance-based compensation varies significantly. The Anglo-Saxon model promotes high compensation linked to performance, while the Germanic model is low, and Latin governance is moderate. Lastly, the "Economic Relationships Time Horizon" indicates a short-term focus in the Anglo-Saxon model, contrasting with the long-term perspectives in Germanic, Latin, and Japanese systems.
This slide effectively underscores the complexities and variations in corporate governance, essential for understanding different market dynamics.
