As the model for corporate governance has emerged in the US after decades of evolution, culminating with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in 2002, there has also been interest in corporate governance models used in other countries. This has particular importance considering the increased competition for capital in international markets with investors wishing to make sound financial decisions by seeking information from companies, regardless of their national registry, that is open, accessible and accurate. This paper examines the framework for corporate governance in the US, its evolution over time, and reviews corporate governance models used in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland. A comparison of these models is provided presenting similarities and differences, strengths and weakness, and obstacles to harmonization.

Changing Role

The article focuses on the analysis of the process of convergence of outsider and insider models of corporate governance. Chief characteristics of basic and intermediate systems of corporate governance as well as the changing role of its main agents are under examination. Globalization of financial and commodity markets, convergence of legal systems, an open exchange of ideas and information are the driving forces of the convergence of basic systems of corporate governance. However the convergence does not imply the unification of institutional environment and national institutions of corporate governance.

Over Time

The introduction offers an overview of the book’s themes, written in a way that is accessible to historians and readers from outside the discipline. The chapter suggests that ‘corruption’ and ‘office’ were both evolving terms over the period covered by the book. ‘Corruption’ was initially a term most frequently used in a religious context, applied to sin and Catholicism, but increasingly took on a more important political, legal, and economic definition. ‘Office’ also shifted, from something considered as a piece of private property with extensive personal privileges and responsible primarily to the monarch to something that was much more publicly accountable with restricted and defined forms of enrichment. Neither ‘corruption’ nor ‘office’ were unchanging universals and their disputed definition and ambiguous meaning over time and place lie at the heart of this study. The introduction sets this process in the context of state formation, imperial expansion, and corporate governance.

InBrazil, family construction companies provide a significant share of goods and services in the construction industry. To protect themselves against fraud, crises and problems inherent to family organizations, these corporations need to implement at least basic corporate governance recommendations. This study evaluates the practices suggested by the Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance (IBGC) based on a survey of 33 organizations. Our results indicate that construction companies in the country start their governance models by standardizing and professionalizing their business; however, they only start considering the family influence in later stages. The average scores obtained for the recommendations investigated suggest poor implementation of corporate governance practices in Brazilian family construction companies.
