Chapter 8

Approaches to governance

Outcome

By the end of this session you should be able to:

 compare rules versus principles based approaches to governance and when
they may be appropriate.

 discuss different models of organisational ownership that influence different
governance regimes (family firms versus joint stock company-based models)
and how they work in practice.

 describe the objectives, content and limitations of, governance codes intended
to apply to multiple national jurisdictions e.g. Organisation for economic
cooperation and development (OECD) Report (2004) and International
corporate governance network (ICGN) Report (2005)

and answer questions relating to these areas.
