Conclusion. Concluding remarks. 520 $a "This book seeks to reconceptualise the role of shareholders in listed companies as one that should include fiduciary duties, particularly the duty to act in good faith in the best interests of the company and the duty to avoid unauthorised conflict of interest. The case study consists of the listed companies in four common law jurisdictions in Asia - Hong Kong, Singapore, India and Malaysia. My central argument comprises three primary claims. First, because the general meeting is an agent of the company, it owes fiduciary duties to the company, the most important of which for the purposes of this book is to act in good faith in the company's best interests. I develop a theory of what these interests should be through a normative, legal and empirical analysis"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Stockholders $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Hong Kong. $z Hong Kong. 650 0 $a Stockholders $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z India. 650 0 $a Stockholders $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Malaysia. 650 0 $a Stockholders $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Singapore. 650 7 $a LAW / Corporate. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Stockholders $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01133686 651 7 $a China $z Hong Kong. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01260796 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 651 7 $a Malaysia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204590 651 7 $a Singapore. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205288 653 $a Fiduciary duty 830 0 $a International corporate law and financial market regulation. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013721.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F254E442083E11EABF3FA51A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
