Abstract

This paper examines the effectiveness of rules, procedures and Acts as instruments of corporate governance in Uganda, with interest in the performance of private companies. An extensive review of literature and ethnographic observation of the dynamic of corporate governance in private companies indicate that much as the private companies have adopted a hybrid regulatory framework of corporate governance, loopholes do still exist that have hindered the effectiveness  of these instrument in the performance of private companies. Therefore there is need for strengthening corporate governance systems; however some of the weakness are attributed to the unsolved debate on key issues of corporate governance globally that trickles down to Uganda’s young corporate governance system in the private sector.
乌干达公司治理的有效性:以私营公司为例
本文考察了规则、程序和作为乌干达公司治理工具的行为的有效性,并对私营公司的绩效感兴趣。对文献的广泛回顾和对私营公司公司治理动态的民族志观察表明,尽管私营公司采用了公司治理的混合监管框架,但仍然存在阻碍这些工具在私营公司绩效中的有效性的漏洞。因此,有必要加强公司治理制度;然而,一些弱点归因于全球公司治理关键问题未得到解决的辩论,这影响到乌干达私营部门年轻的公司治理体系。

期刊介绍: South Asian Journal of Business and Management Cases (SAJBMC) is a peer-reviewed, tri-annual journal of Birla Institute of Management Technology, Greater Noida (India). The journal aims to provide a space for high-quality original research or analytical cases, evidence-based case studies, comparative studies on industry sectors, products, and practical applications of management concepts. The journal likes to publish problem-solving, decisional and applied types of cases. Such cases must have linkage with theory, at least one dilemma (also known as case issue) and a protagonist around whom the case issue will revolve. Publication of pure research, applied research and field studies with empirical data do not fall under the domain of SAJBMC. Fictitious cases are not welcome.
