Cooperatives are based on the philosophy of equality and mutual help i.e. 'All for each and each for all'. They cover a wide range of development services in Nepalese context. The members of a cooperative elect a board of directors in its general meeting for the day to day operation. The board prepares policy and procedures, and appoints manager(s) to implement the policies and run the program. One of the internal issues in saving and credit cooperatives is the relationship between managers and the board of directors which affects on the performance level of the cooperative. In this regard, the main objective of this paper is to assess the relationship between managers and the board of directors, and its impact on the performance of saving and credit cooperatives in Pokhara. The study also covers the managers' feelings of job satisfaction, career development opportunities, and responsibilities of board of directors and managers. Out of 212 savings and credit cooperatives in Pokhara Sub-metropolitan, 77 cooperatives were selected as sample. A questionnaire survey with the mangers was carried out to derive the primary information, and annual audited reports are used as secondary sources of data. The results indicate that board-manager relation does not affect the responsibilities of board of directors and managers, and academic qualifications of managers are positively related to performance of the cooperatives. Finally the paper concludes that the board manager relationship is positively related to return on assets of the cooperatives. Janapriya Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, Vol. 6 (December 2017), page: 60-77

Drawing on Agency Theory this article investigates the relationship between board size and European firms’ performance. The focus is on the implicit differences between financial and non-financial firms. In particular the paper addresses the following questions: does board size influence firm performance? Is financial intermediaries’ corporate governance different from that of non-financial companies? The study analyses the governance of the largest listed European companies which make up the Eurotop 100 index. Companies come from 12 different countries and are subject to different regulatory and self-discipline codes. Referring to the Eurotop index the focus is on the relation between the overall size of the board of directors and the level of performance measured as Tobin’s Q and Return on Assets. Diverging results emerge depending on the typology of the firm. In particular, results suggest that for non-financial companies large boards negatively influence firm performance, whereas financial intermediaries seem to be different because of the non-relation between their board size and performance.

Среди них можно выделить вопросы, связанные с работой селекционных учреждений, развитием элитного семеноводства, доработкой семян, реализацией конечной продукции. Совет директоров и Секретариат АНРСК в соответствии с решениями Общего собрания АНРСК и Решениями Совета директоров постоянно осуществляли комплекс мероприятий по превращению отечественного семеноводства в современную отрасль, развивающуюся на новейших технологиях в условиях современных рыночных отношений.

С участием представителей Ассоциации подготовлены и подписаны президентом два важных федеральных закона. Эти два Федеральных Закона (247-ФЗ и 248-ФЗ) действительно способны сыграть важную роль в развитии экономики и бизнеса членов нашей Ассоциации, в частности. Ассоциация в ряду организаций, принимающих участие в оценке регулирующего воздействия нормативно-правовых актов Минсельхоза России, занимает скромное место, а также (несмотря на то, что Минсельхозу России иногда удается игнорировать ее существование и уклоняться от необходимых экспертных встреч) – некоторых улучшений в деле развития отечественной селекции и семеноводства в первую очередь овощных культур она все-таки добилась. The Association unites more than 20 organizations that provide the production and sale of seeds of vegetable, melon and flower crops for the professional and amateur markets in the amount of 70-90 % of their total demand in Russia. The AIRSC includes private breeding and seed companies (both Russian and foreign), as well as state scientific institutions. It takes an active part in the discussion of new legislative initiatives and initiatives to amend the existing RLA. The Association's activities are also aimed at solving a wide range of problems related to the infringement of the rights and legitimate interests of economic entities. Among them are the following: issues related to the work of breeding institutions, the development of elite seed production, seed refinement, and the sale of final products. The Board of Directors and the Secretariat of the AIRSC, in accordance with the decisions of the General Meeting of the AIRSC and the Decisions of the Board of Directors, constantly implemented a set of measures to transform domestic seed production into a modern industry that develops on the latest technologies in the conditions of modern market relations. The formation in Russia of a modern legal framework for the seed production of agricultural plants, primarily vegetable, flower, ornamental, lawn grasses, a civilized market for vegetable seeds in Russia, and the integration of breeding achievements into the world seed industry. With the participation of representatives of the Association, two important federal laws were prepared and signed by the President. These two Federal Laws (247-FL and 248-FL) can really play an important role in the development of the economy and business of the members of our Association, in particular. The Association occupies a modest place among the organizations that take part in the assessment of the regulatory impact of the regulatory acts of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, and also, despite the fact that the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia sometimes manages to ignore its existence and avoid the necessary expert meetings, it still achieved some improvements in the development of domestic breeding and seed production, primarily vegetable crops.

This chapter continues to analyze the relationship between decision and action using a case study on Swedish Rail (Statens Järnvägar, SJ). In February 1987, the board of directors of SJ met to consider a plan drawn up by an international consultancy company to implement a radical reform, the ‘New SJ’. The basic idea was to make the company more businesslike. SJ was to be run as a company and not as a government service, and its corporate aim was to be a profitable business. The chapter addresses the question of why reforms may be difficult to implement. It suggests that there are certain fundamental and common characteristics of administrative reforms which make them difficult to implement by nature.

For transnational mergers of listed corporations, the merger of equals procedure is chosen frequently. This thesis comprehensively deals with the delimitation of the competences of the board of directors and the general meeting of a listed stock corporation in the case of the merger of equals. It is examined whether the conclusion of the business combination agreement requires the approval of the general meeting or whether it falls exclusively within the competence of the board of directors. Furthermore, it is examined whether the merger as such falls within the competences of the general meeting, in particular whether the merger establishes unwritten competences of the general meeting.
