Corporate governance: Indian perspective vis-à-vis international perspective.
The word ‘corporate governance’ has become a buzzword these days because of two factors. The first is that after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the cold war in 1990, it has become the conventional wisdom all over the world that market dynamics must prevail in economic matters. The concept of government controlling the commanding heights of the economy has been given up. This, in turn, has made the market the most decisive factor in settling economic issues.
This has also coincided with the thrust given to globalisation because of the setting up of the WTO and every member of the WTO trying to bring down the tariff barriers. Globalisation involves the movement of four economic parameters namely, physical capital in terms of plant and machinery, financial capital in terms of money invested in capital markets or in FDI, technology, and labour moving across national borders. The pace of movement of financial capital has become greater because of the pervasive impact of information technology and the world having become a global village.
