The Intersection of Corporate Governance Practices and National Culture in Emerging Markets

Social Science Research Network

Presented at 2011 Finance & Corporate Governance Conference (Melbourne, Australia). Abstract: Corporate governance practices vary widely based on political, social, economic, and national culture factors. This theoretical work specifically considers the intersection of these variables in four specific emerging markets – Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC). The fact that many BRIC countries exhibit a broad range of governance definitions and models indicates how national culture and political changes may influence such models. The financial markets in BRIC countries had previously been closed to outside influence. Understanding the fundamental differences in corporate governance may assist companies in more developed countries to maximise expansion goals into these countries. It may also assist companies within those developing economies to understand obstacles to becoming multinational firms. Finally, as we begin to understand the challenges and distinctions of these countries transitioning into the global economy, there may be some telling insights into how the next phase of countries embarks upon this evolutionary process. While increasing the discourse in this area, the authors seek not to only provide philosophical deliberations, but incorporate empirical data for the most salient level of analysis. Each aspect will be approached from a global perspective, recognising the unique attributes and necessity for each.

ISO 9000: An Effective Quality System

American Society for Quality

Standards play a critical role in our lives every day. Without standards, quality would suffer, safety would be jeopardized, and efficiencies would not be realized. Organizations need standards to communicate, and to conduct business. To promote standardization worldwide, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) developed standards, so that a common international standard for documentation of quality systems could be applied regardless of culture. ISO standards can be adapted and applied to many different industries because of the broad construct of generically written standards (Foster, 2004). In 1987, ISO adopted ISO 9000 as an international standard. Ever since, business analysts and other observers have debated whether it is an "effective" standard and worth pursuing. We believe it is.

Considering Venus: Females on American Corporate Boards compared Globally

Society for Advancement of Management

Presentation at annual conference to be considered for 2018 publication: Objective of the research: As an extension of the dissertation entitled Have boards of directors changed? A study of the impact of Sarbanes-Oxley legislation on corporate governance (DeClouette, 2009), more focused research of gender demography is collected and analyzed. This work updates the board gender descriptive statistics for current Dow Jones Industrial Average companies, comparing it to the 2009 effort. Further, the results will be theoretically compared using published research on other countries regarding the phenomenon of female board composition. The goal is to enhance understanding of how large companies in the USA – presumably multinational entities – stack up to those around the world. Importance of topic to the focus discipline – general statement of findings: The suggested topic is Global Business. Corporations around the globe determine who sits on its boards of directors - the highest level of leadership. Gender diverse boards have proven to be successful. Yet, from a global perspective, women are unevenly represented at this highest level of corporate management. Countries that have legislated and enforced robust quotas for gender equity have realized such on corporate boards. Other counties have approached corporate governance gender diversity reform very differently. Some have chosen comply-or-explain while other countries have left it completely to the free market. This approach has yielded far less progress regarding increasing gender diversity, much less achieving gender equity. Methodology: An exploratory longitudinal quantitative study with secondary data collected at three data points (2001, 2007 and 2016) for the 30 component companies of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) index. Such data is discussed in terms of descriptive statistics and theoretically integrated with relevant literature of the same phenomenon in other countries (quasi meta-analysis).

Perceptions of trust in the boardroom: A conceptual model

Journal of Leadership and Organizational Studies

Abstract: The theoretical framework for a comprehensive trust model is presented using McAllister’s (1995) affect and cognitive-based trust model and Siegrist, Earle and Gutscher’s (2003, 2005) trust-confidence-cooperation (TCC) model as the foundation. The enhanced model includes cognitive and affective domains of personality, culture, motivation, reliability, competence, and intuition (as a latent variable) to measure perception of trust between two individuals. The model applies the inter-cognition of self-leadership for improving trust and building effective relationships within boards of directors. Furthermore, the authors consider the multiplicity of board of director roles and how such complexity impacts formation and maintenance of optimal trust.

A study of the impact of Sarbanes-Oxley legislation on corporate governance (DeClouette, 2009), more focused research of gender demography is collected and analyzed. This work updates the board gender descriptive statistics for current Dow Jones Industrial Average companies, comparing it to the 2009 effort. Further, the results will be theoretically compared using published research on other countries regarding the phenomenon of female board composition. The goal is to enhance understanding of how large companies in the USA – presumably multinational entities – stack up to those around the world. Importance of topic to the focus discipline – general statement of findings: The suggested topic is Global Business. Corporations around the globe determine who sits on its boards of directors - the highest level of leadership. Gender diverse boards have proven to be successful. Yet, from a global perspective, women are unevenly represented at this highest level of corporate management. Countries that have legislated and enforced robust quotas for gender equity have realized such on corporate boards. Other counties have approached corporate governance gender diversity reform very differently. Some have chosen comply-or-explain while other countries have left it completely to the free market. This approach has yielded far less progress regarding increasing gender diversity, much less achieving gender equity. Methodology: An exploratory longitudinal quantitative study with secondary data collected at three data points (2001, 2007 and 2016) for the 30 component companies of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) index. Such data is discussed in terms of descriptive statistics and theoretically integrated with relevant literature of the same phenomenon in other countries (quasi meta-analysis).

Perceptions of trust in the boardroom: A conceptual model

Journal of Leadership and Organizational Studies

Abstract: The theoretical framework for a comprehensive trust model is presented using McAllister’s (1995) affect and cognitive-based trust model and Siegrist, Earle and Gutscher’s (2003, 2005) trust-confidence-cooperation (TCC) model as the foundation. The enhanced model includes cognitive and affective domains of personality, culture, motivation, reliability, competence, and intuition (as a latent variable) to measure perception of trust between two individuals. The model applies the inter-cognition of self-leadership for improving trust and building effective relationships within boards of directors. Furthermore, the authors consider the multiplicity of board of director roles and how such complexity impacts formation and maintenance of optimal trust.

The Intersection of Corporate Governance Practices and National Culture in Emerging Markets

Social Science Research Network

Presented at 2011 Finance & Corporate Governance Conference (Melbourne, Australia). Abstract: Corporate governance practices vary widely based on political, social, economic, and national culture factors. This theoretical work specifically considers the intersection of these variables in four specific emerging markets – Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC). The fact that many BRIC countries exhibit a broad range of governance definitions and models indicates how national culture and political changes may influence such models. The financial markets in BRIC countries had previously been closed to outside influence. Understanding the fundamental differences in corporate governance may assist companies in more developed countries to maximise expansion goals into these countries. It may also assist companies within those developing economies to understand obstacles to becoming multinational firms. Finally, as we begin to understand the challenges and distinctions of these countries transitioning into the global economy, there may be some telling insights into how the next phase of countries embarks upon this evolutionary process. While increasing the discourse in this area, the authors seek not to only provide philosophical deliberations, but incorporate empirical data for the most salient level of analysis. Each aspect will be approached from a global perspective, recognising the unique attributes and necessity for each.

Our Team 2 colleagues argue that the ISO 9000 family of certification standards is ineffective in today's business environment. We disagree, for the reasons explained.

ISO 9000: An Effective Quality System

American Society for Quality

Standards play a critical role in our lives every day. Without standards, quality would suffer, safety would be jeopardized, and efficiencies would not be realized. Organizations need standards to communicate, and to conduct business. To promote standardization worldwide, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) developed standards, so that a common international standard for documentation of quality systems could be applied regardless of culture. ISO standards can be adapted and applied to many different industries because of the broad construct of generically written standards (Foster, 2004). In 1987, ISO adopted ISO 9000 as an international standard. Ever since, business analysts and other observers have debated whether it is an "effective" standard and worth pursuing. We believe it is.
