In search of good governance for Asian family listed companies : a case study on Hong Kong
Lau, Alex, Young, Angus, & Nowland, John (2007) In search of good governance for Asian family listed companies : a case study on Hong Kong. Company Lawyer, 28(10), pp. 306-311.
Abstract
Discusses the importation of Western concepts of corporate governance into Hong Kong where many companies are family companies to which Asian culture is more familiar. Considers different models of corporate governance and questions the application of Western structures to family owned companies. Examines the weaknesses inherent in the typical structure of Asian companies, particularly from the point of view of minority shareholders. Suggests that a system of governance based on Confucian philosophy may be more effective in Hong Kong.
