DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION

Corporate governance policies of various top companies from their sectors were studied using their annual reports, corporate governance reports and other financial reports. The chosen companies where not only the industry leaders but were also chosen from different locations so that we can get an idea of how corporate governance policies differ from one country to the other.

The key learning from the exercise is that all of the companies place a lot of importance to their corporate governance activities and increasing effectiveness of the board and hence their high rankings. The two main factors that came out in evaluating board effectiveness is the value they create for their shareholders in terms of financial growth of the company and the return to shareholders on their investment and their integrity in the disclosure of the information. The disclosures made are affected by the regulatory mechanism of the country of operation.

As far as the board composition is concerned, all the top companies are in the range of 11 to 14 members. All of the companies have developed structures to evaluate the performance of their board at least once per year. While, all of the companies do have published corporate governance guidelines, very few of them actually publish corporate governance reports along with annual reports.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

"I have used FlevyPro for several business applications. It is a great complement to working with expensive consultants. The quality and effectiveness of the tools are of the highest standards."

– Moritz Bernhoerster, Global Sourcing Director at Fortune 500

"Flevy is now a part of my business routine. I visit Flevy at least 3 times each month.

Flevy has become my preferred learning source, because what it provides is practical, current, and useful in this era where the business world is being rewritten.

In today's environment where there are so many challenges and there is the need to make the right decisions in a short time, with so much scattered information, we are fortunate to have Flevy. Flevy investigates, selects, and puts at our disposal the best of the best to help us be successful in our work."

– Omar Hernán Montes Parra, CEO at Quantum SFE

"As a small business owner, the resource material available from FlevyPro has proven to be invaluable. The ability to search for material on demand based our project events and client requirements was great for me and proved very beneficial to my clients. Importantly, being able to easily edit and tailor the material for specific purposes helped us to make presentations, knowledge sharing, and toolkit development, which formed part of the overall program collateral. While FlevyPro contains resource material that any consultancy, project or delivery firm must have, it is an essential part of a small firm or independent consultant's toolbox."

– Michael Duff, Managing Director at Change Strategy (UK)

"Flevy is our 'go to' resource for management material, at an affordable cost. The Flevy library is comprehensive and the content deep, and typically provides a great foundation for us to further develop and tailor our own service offer."

– Chris McCann, Founder at Resilient.World

"I have used Flevy services for a number of years and have never, ever been disappointed. As a matter of fact, David and his team continue, time after time, to impress me with their willingness to assist and in the real sense of the word. I have concluded in fact that it is not at all just a repository of documents/resources but, in the way that David and his team manage the firm, it is like dealing with consultants always ready to assist, advise and direct you to what you really need, and they always get it right.

I am an international hospitality accomplished senior executive who has worked and lived during the past 35 years in 23 countries in 5 continents and I can humbly say that I know what customer service is, trust me.

Aside from the great and professional service that Flevy's team provide, their wide variety of material is of utmost great quality, professionally put together and most current.

Well done Flevy, keep up the great work and I look forward to continue working with you in the future and to recommend you to a variety of colleagues around the world."

– Roberto Pelliccia, Senior Executive in International Hospitality

"If you are looking for great resources to save time with your business presentations, Flevy is truly a value-added resource. Flevy has done all the work for you and we will continue to utilize Flevy as a source to extract up-to-date information and data for our virtual and onsite presentations!"

– Debbi Saffo, President at The NiKhar Group

"FlevyPro provides business frameworks from many of the global giants in management consulting that allow you to provide best in class solutions for your clients."

– Roberto Fuentes Martinez, Manager at Technology Transformation Advisory

"As an Independent Management Consultant, I find Flevy to add great value as a source of best practices, templates and information on new trends. Flevy has matured and the quality and quantity of the library is excellent. Lastly the price charged is reasonable, creating a win-win value for the customer, Flevy and the various authors. This is truly a service that benefits the consulting industry and associated clients. Thanks for providing this service. "

– Jim Schoen, Principal at FRC Group
