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

"One of the great discoveries that I have made for my business is the Flevy library of training materials.

As a Lean Transformation Expert, I am always making presentations to clients on a variety of topics: Training, Transformation, Total Productive Maintenance, Culture, Coaching, Tools, Leadership Behavior, etc. Flevy usually has just what I need to make my point.

It is well worth the money to purchase these presentations. Sure, I have the knowledge and information to make my point. It is another thing to create a presentation that captures what I want to say. Flevy has saved me countless hours of preparation time that is much better spent with implementation that will actually save money for my clients."

– Ed Kemmerling, Senior Lean Transformation Expert at PMG

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.
