What is the Governance Code?

41 vues

A governance code is a set of recommendations designed, according to its authors, to ensure the implementation of best practices in the organization and functioning of the board of directors.
Today, there are several hundred such codes around the world—sometimes multiple codes within a single country. This is the case in France, where the financial market regulator recognizes two codes: the AFEP-MEDEF Code and the Middlenext Code.

These governance codes fall under what is known in legal terms as soft law. Indeed, the term code can be misleading, as these are not laws passed through a legislative process, but rather self-regulatory texts issued by employers’ associations.

The digital and technological transformations of the past 20 years have completely disrupted sales practices and consumer behavior.

What is the budget?

Prepared at the end of the fiscal year for the following period, a budget is a forecasting and control tool used to organize an organization’s activities and measure their financial impact, typically over a maximum of one year. It represents the quantitative and financial expression of the short-term action plan of management. At the end of the period, budget reconciliation allows for updating forecasts based on the results of the past year and the objectives for the coming year. Some companies choose to prepare rolling budgets or rolling forecasts. Budgets are often subject to criticism, and in response, new approaches are emerging.

What are target costs?

How can costs be reduced without diminishing the product’s value for the customer? This question is at the origin of the target costing approach. It is not a cost calculation technique, but rather a cost management method. Its objective is to deliver a product whose perceived value meets customer expectations while not exceeding a maximum cost, the target cost, which ensures that shareholder margin requirements are met. This method is based on two principles: the additivity principle and the symmetry principle. The approach aims to control costs while preserving customer value. However, it can be very complex to implement.

Women in family business boards: impact and legacy

The benefit of gender diversity on the corporate boards of family firms (FFs) continues to receive growing interest. In this paper, we examine the goals of women who hold a position on the board of directors at FFs. Goal setting has been used to identify what they want to accomplish here. How do they make a difference? This question is answered through the theoretical lens of socio- emotional wealth (SEW) and goal setting. We contribute to the literature supporting gender-diverse board composition, emphasizing the goals associated with women on FF boards, and highlighting their role in family business succession. Drawing on SEW and goal setting theory, this study examines how women’s goals influence succession. Driven by the research question, our data bring together three categories of goals pursued by women in the boardroom.

The Role of Politics for Firms’ Internationalization

We disaggregate the notion of ‘politics of internationalization’ through identification of a set of distinct dimensions in which politics affect firm internationalization. We find that EMNE strategies are becoming more entangled with those of governments, political parties, lobbyists, and other formal and informal institutions. In emerging economies, the state often plays a relatively active role in the economy, and EMNE strategies are more conditioned by politics, policies, and non-market considerations. We argue that the ability to leverage politics is becoming more important for the competitive advantage of EMNEs, and firms are increasingly engaging in political activities through nonmarket strategies.
