  • 83 Accesses

Abstract

Corporate governing refers to practices, theories, and dilemmas associated with the challenges of directing and controlling organizations (Bevir, M. (2011). Governance as theory, practice, and dilemma. The SAGE handbook of governance, 1–16) in short governing them. Special emphasis is placed on the allocation of rights to information and decision-making among shareholders, board members, and the management team. The final purpose is to set the balance of empowerment and accountability to drive toward value creation by corporate leaders (directors and managers), while protecting the equitable distribution of the value created between internal and external stakeholders (Huse, 2009).
