Corporate Governance und Unterne Eggert

Scholarly Paper aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Wirtschaft - Unternehmensführung, Management, Organisation, Note: 1,0, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn (BWL 1 - Finanzwirtschaftliches Institut), Veranstaltung: Seminar "Corporate Governance", 48 Eintragungen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Englisch, Abstract: In this paper I outline the relationship between Corporate Governance (CG) and the valuation of a firm. Working through the huge body of empirical research I want to give a clear picture of the mechanisms and their relative importance in influencing the valuation. At first I clearly define what I am speaking about: What is Corporate Governance? What do I mean when I speak about "Corporate Valuation"? Once the terms are clear the main question is: Why are these two things connected? What are the theoretical arguments? To evaluate the empirical findings I shortly describe beforehand the statistical problems and pitfalls that arise within this research. With this stable fundament I describe, comprehend and evaluate the descriptive research that has been done until today. Throughout this part I also pay attention to the used methodology. The aim is to give the reader a comprehensive and clear answer to the question how does Corporate Governance influence the Corporate Valuation.
