Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between corporate governance structure and performance of Indian companies. The main objective of this study is to examine the impact of selected board characteristics and ownership structure on the firm performance. This analysis ranges over a period of six years, from 2001-02 to 2006-07 and is based on Pharmaceutical and IT industry. Least square dummy variable regression model has been used to study the relationship. We find that while board size, listing status of firm and foreign shareholding has positive and significant relationship with firm performance, public shareholding has negative and significant impact. However, independent director proportion, participation rate of independent directors and separation of Chairman and CEO post does not have a significant relationship with firm performance.
