Moroccan SME's are involved in local development and are currently the subject of several studies. Furthermore, Moroccan SMEs are crucial to the country's economic growth since they produce value, create employment, and play an important role in local development. The goal is to identify the factors that influence its export performance. This performance can be influenced by the governance system, which is defined as a set of mechanisms that have the effect of limiting managers' powers and influencing their decisions. In this light, the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate, using a sample of food SME's in Agadir city, that a good governance system improves export performance and accelerates the process of SME internationalization. Based on the findings of this study, we can infer that SMEs with effective internal governance mechanisms, such as an internal control and consultation body and strong hierarchical control, may improve their export performance and, as a result, their internationalization potential.

The issue of reforming the Moroccan educational system has become an important national topic. The government is looking forward to achieve the objectives that have been defined forward for this system and contribute to let it be performant.Effectively, the Moroccan educational system is the second national priority. All the national speeches of his majesty king of Morocco are focalized in reorganizing this system by detecting the problems and developing pertinent solutions and tools able to make the difference in the future. The Moroccan context is characterized by the will of government to establish the notion of governance and performance in the public services in general and in the national educational system especially. The aim of our paper is to study how can we introduce the concept of performance in the educational system by integrating a system of management control in the system of education?The hypothesis that the three habitual summits of management control namely- means –objectives and realizations arenot enough for studying the complexity and the missions of such a sector like the educational system where the satisfactions of users is an important factor that must be took into consideration.

External Forces

Previous studies present diverse views on carbon performance. The legitimacy perspective posits that external forces from a wide range of stakeholders drives environmental performance change, while the governance perspective posits that strong internal governance structure leads to performance improvement. This study empirically examines the validity of these different perspectives. Using data released by top polluting companies included in the Australian National Greenhouse and Energy Reports (NGER), the study finds that better governance structures are significantly associated with higher carbon performance, but there is no significant relationship between external carbon disclosure and carbon performance. The results suggest that future policy needs to focus more on ensuring strong corporate governance system and encouraging the integration of environmental aspects into governance agenda.

This paper studies the influence of ownership concentration, board size, and debt in firm performance of a sample of 216 companies from Spain and the United Kingdom, over a four-year period (2000-2003), with the aim of uncovering evidence on the influence of the legal environment in the design of governance mechanisms. Our findings show that the legal protection offered to investors in each country determines the use of internal governance mechanisms. The results show that ownership concentration and investor protection are substitutive mechanisms when increasing firm value, and that the latter mechanisms determine the use of the remaining governance mechanisms.

The Relationship

This paper explores the role of selected internal governance mechanisms as mediators of the relationship between ownership and firm performance. Data from 2004 and 2005 was gathered from 177 firms listed on Bursa Malaysia. Structural equation modelling was used as the primary statistical analysis approach. Insiders and blockholders were found to compete for board dominance. Selected internal governance mechanisms mediate the effect of ownership on performance, suggesting that these were used to advance the investment interests of insiders/ blockholders. The paper provides empirical support for the interest-alignment hypothesis, arguing that the use of governance mechanisms that align the interest of managers and shareholders are more effective than monitoring mechanisms

This paper explores the substitution effects among three governance mechanisms, board monitoring potential, incentives and ownership structure, in a sample of 176 publicly listed companies in Switzerland, a country characterised by bank-centred governance system and high degree of ownership concentration. Our results suggest that whereas ownership concentration per se does not substitute for monitoring by the board, shareholdings held by board and top management and presence of a shareholder on the board act as substitutes for board independence. Moreover, we found that substitution effects differ with the identity of the largest shareholder. Firms owned by financial institutions exhibit a negative relationship between board independence and shareholder representation on board, whereas in family controlled firms board and managerial ownership is the main substitute for board monitoring.

Integrity is one of the moral principles related to moral uprightness. Recently, there are a lot of issues discussed regarding the integrity in public sector administration especially in public sector.  Currently governance in public administration has been exposed to public criticism due to the governance failure, fraud, corruption and poor internal control.  The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between factors of good governance and the practice of integrity in academic institution.  The factors of good governance include ethical leadership, financial resources and asset management.  The study was carried out by using questionnaire and simple random sampling was chosen. The questionnaire survey was distributed to 98 academics from two academic institutions in Malaysia. Such sample was chosen since this study was focused on the academic’s perspective on integrity practice in academic institutions and none of the research has been done in term of good governance and integrity in academic institutions Malaysia. This study found that all three factors of good governance which are ethical leadership, financial resources and asset management have significant relationship on integrity practice in academic institution. The findings of this study can assist academic institutions in Malaysia to improve their governance system and also code of ethics in their organization.  In order to improve future studies, it is recommended that the data collection made to be more extensive. This can help in observing the variation of practice of good governance and integrity in academic institutions.

In this work we carried out an empirical research on a panel of companies in turnaround SMEs, venture capital backed, with the objective of deepening the analysis: Firstly, if warning signs were submitted from firms in turnaround. Secondly, we tried to verify the role played by the Corporate Governance in restructuring, with the definition of an index of good Governance for SMEs (scG) and Performance ad hoc index (scP). Thirdly, the definition of a Synthetic Index (SI) aggregates the two kinds of information: Corporate Governance Quality and Performance. We conducted an analysis of the balance sheets of the companies in turnaround participated by a turnaround fund, in the years 2004 and 2009. In relation to the total number of firms involved in turnaround in the period in question, which were 26 in total; it was possible to reconstruct the historic trend only for 12 of them, for the others the balance sheets could not be found.In conclusion, it can be noted that the analysis of important aspects of management through the development of Z-score, and scG, scP, and SI can summarize complex concepts into a number and allows for comparisons between situations that are not readily comparable in terms of accounting. This study can suggest the definition of Corporate Governance Index for SME in critical situations. This study offers some ideas about the opportunity of stimulating the SME to introduce the Corporate Governance System spread to listed companies
