...An Improved Pedagogy of Corporate Finance: a Constrained Shareholder Wealth Maximization Goal by Michael R. Santos , Gina Vega , John T. Barkoulas INTRODUCTION Bloom's taxonomy (1956) has guided pedagogical structure and innovation for half a century in the United States, and its focus on developmental learning remains relevant and instructive for us. The six developmental levels (knowledge, understanding, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation) separate basic knowledge acquisition from the critical thinking and analytical skills necessary for making ethical decisions or judgments. Answering questions about business ethics requires knowledge from multiple disciplines, including philosophy, psychology, political science, sociology, economics, finance, organizational management, and law. Analyzing such a vast body of data in ethical frameworks requires the highest levels (analysis, synthesis, and evaluation) of critical thinking as expressed in the taxonomy. Corporate governance, an interdisciplinary subject addressed in all these disciplines, explores the inter- workings of both for-profit firms and not-forprofit firms and is an area requiring business students to evaluate ethical issues when making decisions. Despite the broad responsibility of teaching corporate governance in the finance classroom, the pedagogy of finance has been restricted to ideas derived primarily from economics, statistics, and finance. Competing ideas from other disciplines are generally...

...lawmakers and the media on white-collar scandals and the lack of comparisons in prior literature, we also included six white-collar crimes. Overall, the results indicate that tax evasion was viewed as only somewhat serious. When comparing tax evasion to other white-collar offences, we found that tax evasion was perceived as equal in severity to minimum wage law violations and rated less serious than the other four white-collar crimes investigated. Most demographic factors (age, gender, education or income level, political affiliation, etc.) did not seem to be related to perceptions of tax evasion. However, location of taxpayers did have some effect. These findings differ from several previous studies. 2 Table of Contents INTRODUCTION 4 DESCRIPTION OF THE SURVEY 5 DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS 6 DISCUSSION OF PRIOR LITERATURE AND RESULTS OF SURVEY 6 RESULTS OF THE SURVEY...

...CEO and Chairman of Houston Natural Gas, which in 1985 merged with InterNorth. The newly formed company initially named itself HNG/InterNorth but soon renamed itself to Enron. In 1986, Lay became the CEO of Enron and slowly transformed the company into an energy-trading giant. During the time of merger, Enron was largest owner of inter and intrastate pipelines for transporting natural gas. With the help of government deregulation of prices of natural gas, Enron was able to sell its gas at higher prices, which significantly boosted its revenue. Enron pursued further growth by extending its natural gas business model to become a trader in electric power, coal, paper, pulp and water. By 2000, Enron has reached no. 7 on the Fortune 500 and claimed $101 billion in annual revenues. It had become a conglomerate that owned and traded all types of energy in financial markets. However among the success of Enron’s business strategy, were failed business attempts and unethical accounting approach to hide company’s debts. In 2001, Lay sold large amounts of Enron stocks while assuring its employees and shareholders that the company is in a great shape. After few months, Enron filed for bankruptcy in December 2001, the biggest in US history and over 20,000 employees lost their jobs, savings and pensions. In 2004, Lay was indicted for 11 counts of securities fraud, wire fraud, and making false and misleading statements. He was accused of lying about company’s financial status, when he knew what...

...The Value of Independent Directors: Evidence from Sudden Deaths* Bang Dang Nguyen Chinese University of Hong Kong nguyendang@cuhk.edu.hk Kasper Meisner Nielsen Chinese University of Hong Kong and CEBR nielsen@cuhk.edu.hk NOVEMBER 12, 2008 PRELIMINARY DRAFT – DO NOT QUOTE Abstract We investigate the contributions of independent directors to shareholder value by examining the stock price reaction to an exogenous event: sudden deaths of directors. Compiling an extensive database of sudden deaths of directors in the U.S. from 1994 to 2007, we find that following the death of an independent director, the firm’s stock price drops by almost 1% on average. For our control sample of inside and gray directors, we find no significant reaction to such events. The difference in abnormal returns following the sudden deaths of independent, gray and inside directors is statistically and economically significant given our sample’s average market capitalization of 5.3 billion dollars. Consistent with the view that independence is valuable, we find that stock prices react less negatively when the independent director is older, appointed to the board during the tenure of the current CEO, or when he has long board tenure. Our results hold when controlling for director-invariant heterogeneity (e.g. ability, experience, and skills) using a fixed-effect approach. Overall, our results demonstrate that independent directors provide a valuable service to shareholders. Keywords: Independent...

...KCA UNIVERSITY NAME: ROBERT WALIAULA MASAMBU REGISTRATION NO: 13/03174 MBA (PROCRMENT) COURSE: CORPORATE GOVERNANCE QUESTION: RELEVANCE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE TO A MODERN COMPANY SUBMITTED TO: DR. ONGORO LIST OF ACRONYMS: OECD: Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development QUESTION: DISCUSS THE RELEVANCE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE TO THE MODERN COMPANY INTRODUCTION Corporate governance has reached centre-stage in the global agenda. The principles and codes evolved in several countries have furthered the cause of efficiency, transparency and equity particularly in the interest of the shareholders. Sustainable shareholder value has become the mantra for corporate immortality translating eventually into welfare of the society. Corporate governance is based on the relationship between agents and principals (agency theory). Agency theory explains how best the relationship between agents and principals can be tapped for purposes of governing a corporation to realize its goals. The owners of capital (shareholders) are the principals while the agents are the managers. The principals select and put in place both governors (directors) and auditors and ensure effective governance system is implemented whereas the managers are responsible for the day to day operations. Therefore corporate governance involves the way in which the boards oversee the running of a company by its managers and how board...
