Using a range of case-studies, this book analyzes corporate governance relationships between several African countries and the international community, providing an ethical assessment of issues surrounding globalization and adherence to external governance mechanisms. Employing a methodological approach, Corporate Governance in Africa critiques occidental perspectives of corporate governance in relation to the needs of separate states, and the contradictions that arise when local cultures are not taken in to consideration. With case studies from Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya and The Gambia the book presents a comprehensive view of North, East, West and South Africa with contributions from global experts in the field. The authors critique the transformations deemed necessary for governance procedures in order to facilitate confidence and inward investment for these African states.

Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: B, , course: Executive MBA, language: English, abstract: The thesis investigated the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility on sustainable business in Uganda taking a case of the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA). It is derived from the fact that many organizations are seeking better ways of increasing their efficiency and effectiveness in order to remain competitive. Various ways have been advanced and one that is steadily gaining popularity today is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The objectives of the work included to examine the contribution of CSR initiatives on overall business sustainability, to establish whether staff of URA have knowledge about CSR and whether URA derives benefits from CSR. Data was collected from a sample of 62 randomly selected respondents using a structured questionnaire and by in-depth key informant interviews; all in Kampala, Uganda. Their views were also used as a basis for soliciting recommendations on the best ways of improving CSR not only in URA but also other corporations. A socially responsible company should supersede its main objective of maximizing its shareholders’ wealth. It extends its mandate by undertaking social and environmental activities in society within which it carries out its operations through initiatives such as environment conservation, improving the quality of life of its employees and society in general and also being transparent in its business operations. More stakeholders are being drawn towards socially responsible companies because of these initiatives. As organizations struggle to remain competitive within their respective industries while at the same time addressing their long term corporate objectives, they need to be able to incorporate certain values and initiatives of corporate social responsibility into their strategic objectives if they are to further gain competitive advantage. A lot of debate has gone on about whether a company’s social image contributes to its attainment of corporate objectives. The work therefore sought to establish whether CSR has an effect on business operations and performance.

Corporate Governance and accountability are very important areas for any organisation. The way organisations are managed and the way they affect or are affected by stakeholders matters to the organisation itself and to the various parties that have an interest in the organisation. An entity can no longer act in isolation of the community in which it operates and with disregard to the various legal and regulatory frameworks which govern them. Entities have, therefore, to act in a responsible and accountable manner in their governance systems and plans. The welfare of the shareholders of companies is greatly intertwined with the welfare of the community and other stakeholders, such as government, regulators, environmentalists, human rights activists and other stakeholders. Accountability can also promote sustainable development by using the natural resources and other resources in a responsible manner.
