Abstract

The referring corporate governance approach considers that the firm manager has a central position towards the other stakeholders (SH):shareholders, employees, financial creditors. These SH invest specific capital into the firm. The mechanisms protecting each SH's investment are compared within an international perspective. Trust exists when these mechanisms are incomplete. The American and German models are dominant. In Germany, the shareholders must grant an important trust to the firm manager whereas the financial creditors and the employees enjoy important protection mechanisms. In the US, the protection mechanisms play inverse roles.
