| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study the role of independent directors in Chinese companies is investigated. It has been suggested that independent directors have little power to influence the decisions in corporate boards so that large shareholders exploit small shareholders.
In China, crucial issue is conflicting interests among the shareholders. Due to the combination of the concentrated ownership and insider control, minority investors are not protected. Under the Company Law, the independent director system has been formally required. In general, it is not working well.Based on surveys from 150 Chinese listed companies in 2010, the function of its independent directors is explained. On the one hand, judging from three factors such as academic background, career, and age, the independent directors have qualifications for the post. On the other hand, it is hard for them to dissent from the majority’s opinion because the inside directors and auditors are strongly influenced by the dominant shareholders.
