This review is from: Corporate Governance and Financial Performance: A Study of German and Uk Initial Public Offerings (Hardcover)
Compares the impact of German and UK financial markets on corporate governance, ownership and financial performance during the 1980s. Fails to find a correlation between ownership patterns and financial performance. The German system favors firms with low risk and where the benefits of monitoring outweigh the cost of low portfolio diversification. The UK system is better suited to high-risk, high-tech firms, where founders are able to sell out rapidly. editor, CorpGov.Net
