Agency Theory
Agency theory is the branch of financial economics that looks at conflicts of
interest between people with different interests in the same assets.
This most importantly means the conflicts between:
• shareholders and managers of companies
• shareholders and bond holders.
The theory explains the relationship between principals, such as a
shareholders, and agents, such as a company's managers.
In this relationship the principal delegates (or hires) an agent to perform
work.
The theory attempts to deal with two specific problems:
• how to align the goals of the principal so that they are not in conflict
(agency problem), and
• that the principal and agent reconcile different tolerances for risk.

Three models of corporate governance
from developed capital markets
Anglo-US Model
Japanese Model
German Model
• This model is also called an ‘Anglo-Saxon model’ and
is used as basis of corporate governance in U.S.A,
U.K, Canada, Australia, and some common wealth
countries.
• The shareholders appoint directors who in turn
appoint the managers to manage the business. Thus
there is separation of ownership and control.
ANGLO-US MODEL
• The board usually consist of executive directors and
few independent directors. The board often has limited
ownership stakes in the company. Moreover, a single
individual holds both the position of CEO and chairman
of the board.
• This system (model) relies on effective communication
between shareholders, board and management with all
important decisions taken after getting approval of
shareholders (by voting).
“Corporate Governance Triangle”
JAPANESE MODEL
• This model is also called as the business network model,
usually shareholders are banks/financial institutions,
large family shareholders, corporate with cross-
shareholding.
• There is supervisory board which is made up of board of
directors and a president, who are jointly appointed by
shareholder and banks/financial institutions.
• This is rejection of the Japanese ‘keiretsu’- a form of
cultural relationship among family controlled corporate and
groups of complex interlocking business relationship, where
cross shareholding is common most of the directors are
heads of different divisions of the company. Outside
director or independent directors are rarely found of the
board.
GERMAN MODEL
• This is also called as 2 tier board model as there
are 2 boards viz. The supervisory board and the
management board. It is used in countries like
Germany, Holland, France, etc.
• Usually a large majority of shareholders are banks
and financial institutions. The shareholder can
appoint only 50% of members to constitute the
supervisory board. The rest is appointed by employees
and labor unions.
