Abstract Text | This paper examines the specific corporate governance problems of a cooperative bank. It is based on the corporate governance affair of the Raiffeisen Switzerland cooperative and examines why the traditional institutions and mechanisms of corporate governance failed in this case. Furthermore, this analysis recommends measures to help improve corporate governance. The analysis suggests that corporate governance was severely weakened by the cooperative composition of the board of directors, the apathetic cooperative members, the dominance of the central cooperative, the absence of blockholders and the missing threat of hostile takeovers. |
