Innovation is a key factor for firms' competitive advantage in the long-term and for their financial success. Scholars highlight the underinvestment problem with respect of R&D investment. This chapter focuses on two relevant variables of corporate governance that influence firms' innovation performance: firm ownership and board of directors. In the first section, the effect of ownership structure on R&D investment is analyzed. More specifically, the chapter will illustrate the effects of family ownership and institutional ownership on innovation investments. The second section explores the main theoretical perspectives investigating the functions of board of directors and the main board tasks. Lastly, three attributes of board structure and their effect on R&D investments are explored.

This study examines the effect of good corporate governance and sustainability report on company performance. Good corporate governance is dependent on the size of the board of directors, the proportion of independent commissioners, the size of the audit committee, institutional ownership, management ownership. Sustainability report is facilitated by economic, environmental and social aspect as well as disclosure index. While Company performance is generated by Return on Assets (ROA). This research was conducted on companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2014-2018. The purposive sampling technique was used. Hypothesis testing was done by linear regression analysis. The results of testing the first variable showed that institutional ownership affects ROA and has a negative relationship direction. While the size of the board of directors, the proportion of independent directors, the size of the audit committee, and management ownership have no effect on ROA. However, the result of the second variable showed that the disclosure of economic aspects affects ROA and has a positive relationship direction. While disclosure of environmental and social aspects does not affect ROA.

<p>This paper investigates the relationship between the board of directors' structure and firm performance and the value of Brazilian listed state-owned enterprises (SOEs), from 2002 to 2017, totaling 327 observations using an unbalanced panel data with fixed and random effects regressions. The evolution of corporate governance practices adopted by the boards is presented for this period, using a Board Structure Index (BSI). The results indicate a significant positive relation between the board's structure and firm performance, measured by ROE and ROA, and firm value, measured by Tobin's <em>q</em>. These findings are consistent with corporate governance literature, in the sense that the board's role of monitoring management reduces agency conflicts. The results also show an improvement in adopting corporate governance practice on Brazilian SOEs' boards over the last decade.</p>

Corporate governance is widely acknowledged as a key factor of market’s efficiency and corporate performance. Greek company law, under the influence of the financial crisis, has responded actively by incorporating in national law EU directives on corporate governance of listed companies and by adopting recently self-regulatory provisions. This regulatory framework contributes essentially to enhance board accountability and transparency, empower shareholder protection and promote financial disclosure. In that regard, two pillars should be illustrated as regards board of directors in listed companies: Greek company law provides traditionally for the establishment of the general duties of loyalty and care of all board members in companies limited by shares, which are furthermore reinforced by the provisions of the Hellenic Code of Corporate Governance for listed companies. Secondly, hard law rules introduce the participation of non-executive and non-executive independent directors as a legal mechanism of confronting agency problems in listed companies. These provisions have been strongly argued as regards the exact content of the obligations of all board members of listed companies to promote the corporate interest and especially as regards the monitoring role of non-executive directors. These conceptions should be followed by empirical researches in order to address a completely legal and functional approach.

The aim of the present study is to assess The Effect of Company Size on the Relationship between Corporate Governance and Corporate Performance in the Iraqi Stock Exchange. The statistical population under study is listed companies of  Iraq Stock Exchange and the number of companies studied in Iraq is 35, from 2015-2019. The results concluded that there is a statistically significant relationship between the change (increase) of institutional ownership and the performance of the company, and this relationship is direct, as well as the relationship between the change (increase) of institutional ownership and the performance of the company. It can change under the influence of the company's size, and this relationship is negative, meaning the larger the company's size, the weaker the relationship. At the same time, the existence of a relationship between changing the composition of the members of the Board of Directors and the performance of the company was not supported, as well as between changing (increasing) the independence of the Board of Directors and the performance of the company, in addition to the relationship between changing the composition of the Board of Directors. The independence of the Board of Directors and the performance of the company is not affected by the change in the size of the company

Family influence is central in Asian countries; however, little research exists regarding the effects of family ownership and corporate governance on corporate investment decisions. This article examines the relationships among family ownership, board independence, and R&D investment using a sampling of Taiwanese firms. The finding of the negative family ownership—R&D investment relationship suggests that family ownership may discourage risky long-term R&D investment. Such a finding may also suggest that firms with high family ownership may use R&D investment more efficiently and thus need less R&D in relation to firms with low family ownership. In addition, the interaction of family ownership and CEO duality/independent director ratio is negatively/positively related to R&D investment, suggesting that firms with high family ownership may increase R&D investment when the CEO—chair roles are separated or when more independent outsiders are included in the board.

Earnings management practice is the decision to choose a particular accounting method that can achieve the goal of increasing reported profits or reducing investment losses. Misappropriation of financial statements by management can affect the amount of reported income. This study aims to determine whether ownership structure and good corporate governance have a significant influence on earnings management. The study was conducted on pharmaceutical sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in a row for the 2016-2020 period. The sample technique used is purposive sampling, so as many as 7 samples of companies are used. The data testing method uses multiple linear analysis. The results of the data test show that partially institutional ownership has a negative and significant effect on earnings management, independent commissioners, the audit committee, and the board of directors has a negative but not significant effect on earnings management. Simultaneously the results state that institutional ownership, independent commissioners, audit committees, and the board of directors have an effect but not significantly on earnings management.

The purpose of this research was to analyze the effect of corporate governance mechanisms on financial distress, through the measurement of board of directors, board of commissioners, independent ownership structures and managerial ownership structures. The sample consisted of coal mining companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2013 to 2017 and a purposive sampling method was used. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression. The results confirmed that the size of the board of commissioners and institutional ownership had no effect on conditions of financial distress. This was possible because the board of commissioners functions as supervisor in the company, but sometimes it did not carry out its role to its full potential. Meanwhile, institutional ownership was expected to encourage more optimal supervision of management performance so that agency costs could be minimized, but this could not be proven. The size of the board of directors had a significantly positive effect on finances distress. The size of the board of directors could indicate collusion in the company and thus the possibility of experiencing financial distress was greater. Managerial ownership had a significantly negative effect on conditions of financial distress. With an increase in ownership by managers, managers could immediately feel the benefits and losses of the decisions taken. Keywords: board size, the company’s health condition, corporate governance, financial distress, the Altman Z-Score, the number of boards.
