Governance & Performance of Family Business

In South-east Asia, family owned and controlled companies comprise of more than 80% of the larger or listed companies. However, the model of family business varies from country to country as well as organization to organization. The governance and performance of family business has attracted wide attention these days. Governance issues such as maximizing family and business potentials, board practices and leadership, roles that outside professionals play, external capital access and growth, succession planning, relationships with minority investors, risk profile and management, etc. are of concerns to many of us. The Inaugural Asia-Pacific Corporate Governance Conference (APCGC) held in August 2005 was a very successful event, which was attended by over 200 experts, scholars, corporate executives, institutional investors, market intermediaries and regulators from all over the world. Built on this success, this year we are convening the 2nd APCGC in August 2007 featuring keynote speeches, concurrent academic sessions and 3 practitioner-oriented panel sessions with aims at promoting high-quality research and practices on corporate governance in the Asia-Pacific region. This provides a forum for enhancing exchange of views among participants on important governance issues faced by larger or listed family businesses. On behalf of the Conference Co-organizers, the Centre for Corporate Governance and Financial Policy (CCGFP) at the Hong Kong Baptist University, and Protiviti, an independent risk consulting organization, we cordially invite you to attend the Conference.
