Institutions of corporate governance

Article Abstract:

Corporate goverance in Germany, Japan and the US can be compared, with insights from a broad overview of the topic, and from recent research. Firms aim to be economically efficient, and firms have too offer investors expected returns in order to attract them to purchase equity. Corporate governance is one way that stockholders are protected, and it helps to cut agency costs, or costs that arise when managers seek to further their own interests rather than those of stockholders.

Article Abstract:

Socio-economic analysis has not established theory to study institutional profiles within the institutes New Institutional Economics (NIE) and New Institutional Sociology. NIE considers cognitive psychology whereas NIS does not. Institutional analysis practices are deemed to be inadequate because they do not incorporate cognitive theory.
