”Ownership and influence” takes a look at governance in primarily large Danish corporations whose management decisions have far reaching economic and social consequences. But who holds management accountable? What type of ownership does the corporate have? How are the boards put together? Who has influence on decisions? These questions are crucial for corporate competitiveness and social prosperity, and are currently being discussed under the heading “corporate governance.”

 

The book outlines corporate governance research and puts Danish corporate ownership and board-related issues into an international perspective: What is the role of the boards and how does it affect corporate behavior and performance? The overall impression is that Danish corporate governance is effective, for one reason because owners and boards make up a more effective counterbalance to the daily management than in many other countries.
