Thankyou so much.
The concept of corporate Governance has been used in different perspectives. It started as maximising shareholder’s wealth and then expanded to maximising all stakeholders wealth. Corporate governance is collective term encompassing various issues concerning top management, board of directors, shareholders and the corporate stakeholders. It includes ethics and values of the company and its top management.
Few the key areas of corporate governance that could be considered important are listed below:
· Highlighting and removing lack of commitment from CEO and board of directors and executive management
· Removing culture of secrecy. Bring in openness in the policies and working of a company
· Removing the policies that help directors to amass power and money not due to them
· Highlighting unethical ways of policies and working in a company
· Removing extra protection for a particular group of investors or directors
· Protection of rights of minority shareholders
· Maximising shareholders value and equal treatment to all shareholders
· Respect for rights and democratic ways of working with all stakeholders and shareholders in particular
· Remove administrative lethargy and legislative weaknesses
· Meet the competitive logic of global markets
· Abide by laws of the country
· Adhere to social responsibilities of a company
The Four Ps of Corporate Governance,and what each of the Ps mean are discussed below.
1 People
Governance starts with people. They are the founders, the board, the stakeholder and consumer and impartial observer. People are the organisers who determine a purpose to work towards, develop a consistent process to achieve it, evaluate their performance outcomes, and use those outcomes to grow themselves and others as people.
2 Purpose
Every piece of governance exists for a purpose and to achieve a purpose. The ‘for’ is the guiding principles of the organisation. Their mission statement. Every one of their policies and projects should exist to further this agenda.
The ‘achieve’ is the small step on the road to completing that large goal. It might seem pointless to type up minutes for a meeting that felt irrelevant, but those minutes and all the other governance from that meeting contribute to making the business effective at achieving it’s stated purpose.
3 Process
Governance is the process by which people achieve their company’s purpose, and that process is developed by analysing performance. Processes are refined over time in order to consistently achieve their purpose, and it’s always smart to take a critical eye to your governance processes.
It takes efforts to make your processes work, but once they do you will quickly see how they can help the company to grow.
4 Performance
The ability to look at the results of a process and determine whether it was successful (or successful enough), and then apply those findings to the rest of your organisation, is one of the primary functions of the governance process.
Relationship between Mission, Vision, and Values
Mission and vision both relate to an organization’s purpose and are typically communicated in some written form. Mission and vision are statements from the organization that answer questions about who we are, what do we value, and where we’re going. Corporates with clearly communicated, widely understood, and collectively shared mission and vision have always perform better than those without them.
A mission statement communicates the organization’s reason for being, and how it aims to serve its key stakeholders. Customers, employees, and investors are the stakeholders most often emphasized, but other stakeholders like government or communities (i.e., in the form of social or environmental impact) can also be discussed. Mission statements are often longer than vision statements. Sometimes mission statements also include a summation of the firm’s values. Values are the beliefs of an individual or group, and in this case the organization, in which they are invested.
A vision statement, in contrast, is a future-oriented declaration of the organization’s purpose and aspirations. In many ways, you can say that the mission statement lays out the organization’s “purpose for being,” and the vision statement then says, “based on that purpose, this is what we want to become.” The strategy should flow directly from the vision, since the strategy is intended to achieve the vision and thus satisfy the organization’s mission.
To conclude the relatiionship between mission,vision and values could be summarized as ,
mission statements are longer than vision statements, often because they convey the organizations core values. Mission statements answer the questions of “Who are we?” and “What does our organization value?” Vision statements typically take the form of relatively brief, future-oriented statements—vision statements answer the question “Where is this organization going?” Organizations also add a values statement which either reaffirms or states outright the organization’s values that might not be evident in the mission or vision statemen
