Corporate governance and competition: Conceptual thoughts

This study attempts to explore the theoretical and empirical evidence on the relationship between competition and corporate governance in the broader back ground of economic reforms in developing economies, and analyses the problems that may occur due to inadequate corporate governance practices in an enhanced era of competition. The paper also discusses the areas of corporate governance that required immediate attention in developing countries such as protecting shareholder rights and market for corporate control, which are emerging issues in the context of rapid privatisation and deregulations.
