A study of Corporate Governance - Evolution and Challenges with special reference to Implementation of E-government in India. Ms. Renuka S Nifadkar
Abstract:
While recent high-profile corporate governance failures in developed countries have brought the subject to media attention, the issue has always been central to finance and economics. The issue is particularly important for developing countries since it is central to financial and economic development. Recent research has established that financial development is largely dependent on investor protection in a country. With the legacy of the English legal system, India has one of the best corporate governance laws but poor implementation together with socialistic policies of the pre reform era has affected corporate governance. Concentrated ownership of shares, pyramiding and tunneling of funds among group companies mark the Indian corporate landscape. Boards of directors have frequently been silent spectators with the DFI nominee directors unable or unwilling to carry out their monitoring functions. E-Government is the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to improve the activities of government agencies. The e-readiness index of India is found to be low as compared to other countries.
