THE COMPERISON OF THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MODELS OF THE UNITED STATES, THE UNITED KINGDOM AND GERMANY

Bu makale, diğer sistemler için de öncü rol oynayan üç önemli şirket yönetimi modeline genel bir bakış getirmeye çalışmaktadır. Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (ABD) saf liberal modeli temsil ederken Alman modeli farklı olarak hissedarların yanı sıra diğer ilgili paydaşları da sosyal sorumluluk ilkesine uygun olarak değer atfeden bir uygulama yapmıştır. İngiltere modeli ise ABD modeli ile birçok benzerliği paylaşmaktaydı ki hala birçok yönden benzer. Ancak şirket yönetimindeki hesap verilebilirlik sorununa bağlı olarak son on yılda yaşanan yolsuzluk olayları İngiltereyi bu soruna bir çözüm bulmak üzere Alman modeline yönlendirmiştir. İngiltere gibi ABDde benzer sorunlara çare bulmak için bir takım düzenlemeler yapsa da şirketlerin devlet müdahalesine karşı duydukları ciddi antipati liberal yapının özüne dokunulmamıştır. Diğer taraftan Avrupa Birliği üye devletler için ‹Societas Europaea› olarak adlandırılan ortak bir şirket Yönetim modeli kurma arayışına girmiştir.

Ameri̇ka Bi̇rleşi̇k Devletleri̇, İngi̇ltere ve Almanya Ortaklık Yöneti̇mi̇ Modelleri̇ni̇n Karşılaştırması

This article attempts to give a general view to corporate governance models presenting three examples from the significant ones having pioneer role for the other models. The United States (US) model has represented a pure liberal model whilst the German model has carried out as a social responsibility principle paying attention to stakeholders as well as shareholders. The United Kingdom (UK) corporate governance system used to has –in fact still has - many similarities with the US model. However due to the experienced corruptions in last decade stemmed from lacking accountability in the corporate governance caused to strengthen supervising boards that can be argued the UK diverted to the German model to find a solution to the problem. In parallel to the UK, having same problems some States in the US made similar arrangements nevertheless sheer antipathy of corporations to state involvement US companies their liberal essence remained untouched. From the other side the EU have sought to establish a common corporate governance model for the EU member states called ‘Societas Europaea’ (SE).
