Antecedents and Consequences of Corporate Governance Structures

Author

  • Peter Burton

Abstract

The paper uses organisation theory to seek an explanation for the relative uniformity of governance structures (as distinct from other aspects of organisational structure) in public companies in the UK and USA. It then reviews theoretical and empirical evidence of ways in which these structures affect company performance, and finds that conventional views about the benefits of independent governance structures are not strongly supported.
