内容提要：This paper looks at the historical transformation of UK company law and corporate governance from managerialism to shareholder value. It then examines some of the failings of the current system, such as short-termism and unsustainability, before exploring some of the solutions to these problems that are currently being debated in the UK and elsewhere.
报告人简介：
Andrew Johnston教授，男，英国谢菲尔德大学法学院公司法与公司治理讲席教授，谢菲尔德大学LLM项目主任、谢菲尔德大学法学院国际化办公室主任。Andrew Johnston is Professor of Company Law and Corporate Governance at the School of Law at the University of Sheffield and a member of the Sustainable Market Actors for Responsible Trade (SMART) Project (uio.no/smart), which is based at the University of Oslo. He is also a research associate at the University of Cambridge Centre for Business Research, a member of the GOODCORP Research Network, and an Associate Fellow, Sheffield Political Economy Research Institute (SPERI). Recently he has been a visiting professor at Mines ParisTech and Queensland University of Technology. In the past, he has held positions at the Universities of Queensland, Cambridge and Warsaw.
His monograph, EC Regulation of Corporate Governance (Cambridge University Press, 2009), emphasised the important role of European law in sustaining and encouraging employee participation in the face of the drive for shareholder primacy. Recent papers have examined country-by-country tax reporting, the evolution of management over the course of the twentieth century, and various regulatory responses to the financial crisis. As part of the Sustainable Companies project, he worked with Beate Sjåfjell, David Millon and others on an analysis of the possibilities of furthering sustainability through corporate law. In other work, he has offered a critical appraisal of Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives from both economic and sustainability perspectives, and explored comparative takeover regulation.
