Understanding How Issues in Corporate Governance Develop: Cadbury Report to Higgs Review

Michael Pollitt and Ian Jones

Working Papers from Centre for Business Research, University of Cambridge

Abstract: Issues in corporate governance develop according to an identifiable process. Using the influence model of Jones and Pollitt (2002) we compare the conduct of and influences on the investigations leading to the Higgs Review (2003) and the Cadbury Report (1992). We suggest that while there are similarities in the investigations there are important differences arising from the review process adopted, the role of the government, the background of the leaders of the investigations and the influence of academics. These differences have had important implications for the effectiveness of the implementation of the conclusions of the Higgs Review.
