Tangtrakulporn, Janejira and Meesap-Lak, Chutima (2010)
Department of Business Administration
Abstract
Agency cost of free cash flow is the most detrimental cost to a firm as it can engage firm in the misuse of capital or over-diversification, and could be so tremendous that deprives all the benefits of diversification, generates diversification discount, and destroys firm value. Corporate governance is a mechanism to safeguard the agency problems, hence, plays an important role to reduce value-destroying diversification strategies. However, corporate governance mechanisms in East Asia are different from those of developed countries due to the predominant agency conflicts between controlling and minority shareholders.
