Initiative for China to establish a dual model of mixed corporate governance on bankruptcy reorganization: An empirical analysis based on 93 listed companies

Abstract

Corporate governance in reorganization is an important guarantee for the success of troubled firms' rescue. Using a dataset of 93 listed companies in reorganization in China over the last 16 years and through a binary division of decision making in reorganization, the paper presents the first empirical study of governance in the manager management model and the debtor’s own management model during reorganization, found that the manager governance was plagued by the manager’s insufficient ability of business decision-making, which was difficult to improve the operating value of the enterprise; Under the self-management of the debtors, they were vulnerable to the manipulation of the controlling shareholder, and the allocation of losses from reorganization decision was unfair. This paper proposed to change the current model of the manager or debtor fully implementing the reorganization decision and business decision during the bankruptcy reorganization, and construct the dual model of mixed corporate governance for the manager to execute the reorganization decision and the debtor to implement the operation decision separately. The study provides a novel model for corporate governance in bankruptcy reorganization.
