Abstract: Corporate governance philosophies and practices vary significantly across countries. In the Anglo-American model, corporate ownership is widely dispersed. The key issue is how to practices such as transparent accounting standards, independent directors, and stock-based pay to monitor and/or motivate top managers. In other countries such as China, ownerships of publicly-listed companies are highly concentrated in the hands of the state or founding families. How to monitor the majority shareholders in order to protect minority shareholders’ interests becomes crucial. What are the pros and cons of these different governance models? Will these models remain divergent in the foreseeable future? Or instead are they converging toward one common model? This panel features some of the leading scholars in the corporate governance area. They represent the Chinese, Anglo-American, and Continental European perspectives, respectively. They will share their views on these important questions.
