This PPT slide, part of the 27-slide Corporate Governance: Guide for SMEs PowerPoint presentation, presents a comparative analysis of corporate governance systems across different regions, highlighting their distinct characteristics. It categorizes governance structures into four systems: Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Latin, and Japan. Each system is evaluated based on several criteria, including the countries involved, the concept of the firm, the board system, salient stakeholders, and performance-based compensation.
The Anglo-Saxon model, which includes countries like the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia, is characterized by a shareholder-owned concept of the firm. It employs a one-tier board system that combines executive and non-executive directors. Shareholders are identified as the primary stakeholders, and performance-based compensation is notably high.
In contrast, the Germanic system encompasses countries such as Germany, Switzerland, and the Nordic nations. This model features a two-tier board system, separating supervisory and executive roles. Here, institutional stakeholders play a significant role, and performance-based compensation is generally low.
The Latin model, covering countries like France, Italy, and Spain, presents an optional board structure, with a focus on financial holdings and families as salient stakeholders. Performance-based compensation in this model is moderate.
Lastly, the Japanese system is unique, featuring a board of directors and various representative offices. Stakeholders include city banks and other financial institutions, with performance-based compensation also low.
This slide effectively illustrates the diversity in corporate governance approaches, emphasizing how regional characteristics shape governance practices. Understanding these differences is crucial for executives looking to navigate international business environments.
