Director identity, identification and information flows as predictors of board monitoring, resource provision and organisational performance

改善公司治理有可能显著和深刻地改善我们的国家财富和社会资本。 上市公司0.5%的业绩增长将为55%投资股市的澳大利亚人创造额外的500亿美元。 系统性的治理改进可以降低国家的资本成本，从而提高我们的国际竞争力。 我们的研究结果同样适用于重要的非营利部门。 最后，公司倒闭会损害股东、雇员、供应商、债权人和一般社会。 很简单，社会的道德和社会结构反映了我们治理制度中的公司道德和价值观。

Improving the corporate governance of companies has the potential to significantly and profoundly improve our national wealth and social capital. A 0.5% performance gain in listed companies would create an extra $50B for the 55% of Australians that invest in equity markets. Systemic governance improvements can lower the cost of capital for the nation, thus improving our international competitiveness. Our findings equally apply to the important not-for-profit sector. Finally, corporate collapses harm shareholders, employees, suppliers creditors and the general community. Quite simply, the ethical and social fibre of society reflects the ethics and values of corporations built into our governance system.
