5、let me to solve the first question.1. Explain the term “Corporate Governance”Corporate governance refers to the system of structures, rights, duties, and obligations by which corporations are directed and controlled. The governance structure specifies the distribution of rights and responsibilities

6、among different participants in the corporation (such as the board of directors, managers, shareholders, creditors, auditors, regulators, and other stakeholders) and specifies the rules and procedures for making decisions in corporate affairs.(OECD. Retrieved 2019-05-18).In my opinion, corporate gov

7、ernance is the specific problems generated in the interaction of senior managers, shareholders, directors and other stakeholders. And the core of corporate governance problem is who should get benefits from senior management. There are two key elements for corporate, one is supervise senior managers

8、 performance, and the other one is ensure managers responsibility for shareholders and other stakeholders.Corporate governance is the link between stakeholders who participate in decide the developing direction and performance of the company.Therefore, it is about the way to use company power to rea

9、lize the interest of stakeholders, and in the situation that does not impede entrepreneurs innovation power.Although there are too many definitions of corporate governance, we can conclude them into the following sentences.Corporate governance gradually pay attention to considering the stakeholders,

10、 but shareholders is still its logical starting point of the problem analysis; Also, it emphasis on the innovation freedom of the management and responsibility to shareholders and other stakeholders;Whats more, it seeks the chance from the enterprise internal to improve corporate governance structur

11、e and achieve the first two goals.The essence of the corporate governance structure is that mainly aimed at the link between each related stakeholder and contract arrangement, and covers markets and internal governance structure two parts.To sum up, the company governance structure includes the inte

12、rnal structure and market mechanism of corporate governance,it is a contact for a series of system arrangement and organization system of each stakeholders.Then, lets talk about the problems that corporate governance should study and solve.From the point of improving enterprises performance, the pro

13、blems can be divided into two types, first is the compatibility problems of internal managers and shareholders interest with its outside investors interest and social interest.The second is the manage problems of managers, which are the decision- making mistakes resulted from enterprise leaders mana

14、gement ability, their thinking ways and faults of environment requirements.From the point of benefit mechanism, corporate governance should answer the question which enterprise system is the most beneficial to ensure that investors interest in the enterprise assets get due protection and they can ge

15、t a reasonable return on investment.(WeiAn, 2019).Also, there are two main models of corporate governance, one is Anglo-American model. And the other one is Franco-German model.Anglo-American corporate governance structure is often referred to as Unitary Board System, its characteristic is that the

16、business executive mechanism and supervision mechanism are combined as one, the board of directors has both business executive function and the supervision function.The characteristics of Franco-German model is double commission system“, the corporate governance structure is mainly composed of execu

17、tive board (the board of directors, the equivalent of Americas senior management or executive committee) and supervision of the board of directors (the board of supervisors, the board of directors of the equivalent of the U.S.).2. Discuss the agency problems and identify three internal corporate gov

18、ernance approaches to address this problem.2.1 Definite principal-agentFirstly, let me describe what is principal-agent.Principal-agent, refers to a kind of contractual relationship, under the contract, a person or some people (the trustee) authorize another person (the agent) to maximize the utilit

19、y of the principal goals and engage in certain activities, including some decision-making rights granted agent, use incentives to attract agent, and supervise the agent and so on. (ZeYao & Rui, 2019). The characteristics of principal-agent are: Principal-agent is based on the mandate of the trustee

20、which has the decisive significance in principal-agent; Principal-agent occurs mainly in the field of economy, such as in business, industry, trade, management and other market behaviors are widely use principal-agent; Principal-agent agent has both natural person and legal person, there are many di

21、fferent kinds of agents; Usually, principal-agent is need to be paid.2.2 Definite agency problem.After we know what is the principal-agent, we can more clear definite agency problem.Agency problem refers to the agent objective function and the principal objective function are inconsistent, plus the

22、uncertainty and information asymmetry, agents may deviate from the principal objective function and the principal difficult to observe and supervise, so presents the phenomenon thant agent harm the principals interests. (GuoPing, 2019). The reasons why agency problem exist has three points. Firstly,

23、the information asymmetry between principal and agent.From the view of principal, they dont know exactly about agents knowledge and ability, they cannot conduct a comprehensive supervision to the degree of agent behavior such as whether agent is hard work, or whether agent has presence of opportunis

24、m. From the view of agent, they hide some information for their own benefits. Secondly, responsibility asymmetry between principal and agent.For principal ,they lost the control of enterprise management, but they directly to bear the consequences of corporate profit and loss. For agent,they control

25、the enterprise management, but to enterprises profit and loss they are not directly liable. Thirdly, the objective function between principal and agent is not consistent. Shareholders want to realize the maintenance and appreciation of the capital, maximize capital returns and increase the value of

26、the company, their target is monetary earnings. But for agent, they want to gain higher wages and bonuses; As far as possible to improve office conditions, social status and reputation, their targets contain monetary and non-monetary benefits. (Nv, CuiJuan & Jing, 2019).2.3 Identify three internal c

27、orporate governance approaches that help address agency problem.To solve agency problem, there are two ways in general direction.The first one is build supervisory mechanism, the second one is build incentive mechanism. Just now to talk about some specific solutions to help address agency problem.In

28、 the part of building supervisory mechanism, company can set up board of directors, members of the board of directors are the legal representative of shareholder interests. If the board of directors and management are independent of each other, then the board is an effective mechanism of dealing wit

29、h the agency problem.But due to listed companies have dispersed ownership structure and the manager will usually choose directors may be friendly to them.In Britain, that the board of directors including at least three outside directors, and board chairman and chief executive for someone must be dif

30、ferent. In addition to outside directors, the board chairman and chief executive of independent setting further strengthen the independence of the board of directors. Board of directors will supervise agents for their performance, and prevent the opportunism to a certain extent. Agent has more respo

31、nsibility for shareholders and they need to try to improve companys profit.Also, in the part of building incentive mechanism, company can use the way of incentives contracting.Managers earnings lack of sensitivity to changes in shareholder wealth. Between management control and cash flow ownership w

32、ill further expand the agency problem. If the managers of dispersed ownership of company without rights and interests, then they will use the ability and power to seek self interestspany can let them have the ownership of the company, such as stock options and performance share incentive contracts.

33、However, senior managers will abuse incentive contracts, for example by manipulating accountant to do a fraud,sometimes even with the help of acquiescence from the auditor to change the investment strategy for their own huge profit. So, It is necessary to set up an compensation committees independen

34、t by the board of directors to carefully design managers incentive contract, and trying to control the behavior of managers.Whats more, the third method to deal with agency problem is increase the maount of equity that managers have.With managers increasing holdings of shares, the companys value als

35、o increase orginally, because the interests of managers and outside investors alliance will become more closely, whcih will reduce agency costs. However, once managers holding shares exceeded certain limit, the value of the company may start to slide because managers tend to implement management def

36、ence countermeasures. All in all,the amount of managers holding shares have a middle range, within the scope, the management defense effect will play an important role. Through the method taht give managers some companys shares will help to motivate their performance, because managers become the sta

37、keholders of the company, their performance will directly link to their earnings, sometimes it will reduce agency costs.3. The example of a corporate governance failure.In this part, i will give an example that really happened in our life, and then describe and analyze this example, also give my rec

38、ommondations at the same time.3.1 YingGuangXia mythYinGuangXia called the company GuangXia (yinchuan) industry co., LTD., the stock short name ST GuangXia (000557). YinGuangXia companies listed in June 1994, because of its outstanding performance and attractive prospects, known as Chinas first blue

39、chip. In August 2019, caijing magazine published YinGuangXia trap, YinGuangXia fictional events financial statements wae exposed. Expert said, tianjin GuangXia German export credit trading company for the output of impossible production, impossible price, impossible products. In tianjin GuangXia ext

40、raction equipment capacity, even if the machine run day and night, also could not produce the number of claims; Tianjin GuangXia extraction products export price ridiculously high to fictitious; For some products of export contract to Germany, cannot extract with supercritical carbon dioxide extract

41、ion equipment. (Jing, 2019).YinGuangXia originally a small workshop, since 2019 it to be concern of the market gradually.It became big winners during 2019 2000, from its share price to earnings, have hit a stunning record: in 2019, YinGuangXia earnings per share 0.51 yuan. Shares were start at 13.97

42、 yuan from December 30, 2019, all the way of insuring, and rose to 35.83 yuan on April 19, 2000.On April 20, 2000 the Ying GuangXia implemented a rich capital accumulation fund turn add equity plan, for every 10 shares turn add 10 stocks, shares was right to fill.Filling in December 29, 2000,the pri

43、ce of rights hit a high record of 37.99 yuan, in addition to the right in front of the price is 75.98 yuan, the year rose 440%, rise range held the second in Shanghai and Shenzhen two city.（FGJ, 2019）In the field of Social Stigma, company has formed the development of the hi-tech industrialization w

44、ith the characteristics of biological resources, which has achieved good ecological benefits, social benefits, science ,technology and economic benefits, which cause the extensive concern of the society from all walks of life and the consistent high praise.3.2 The myth of burstAccording to the surve

45、y of the caijing magazine, YinGuangXias market profit myth which was spread from the begining of 2019 began is false.One is the profit false is obvious,rely on the March 2019 YinGuangXia announcement, Germany Honest company havs signed a contract with YinGuangXia for three consecutive years, 2 billi

46、on yuan RMB a year: YinGuangXia 2019 per share profit will reach 2 to 3 yuan.Raw material cost added up to only 350 yuan per kilogram, but sold to Germany, can sell for 3440 yuan to 4400 yuan, so the high export prices to tianjin GuangXia extraction products is ridiculous.Second is the tianjin customs check the key evidence: Tianjin GuangXia exports only $4.8 million in 2019, and 2000 was only $30
