| dc.description.abstract | Over the past years, there have been global financial and corporate crises that have occurred. Crises have arisen as a consequence of the consistent influence of two factors, namely, poor corporate governance and regulatory mechanisms. In the last forty years crises such as the Savings and Loan Crisis of the1980s and 1990s, the junk bond crash of 1989, the Asian financial crisis of 1997 and 1998 and the dotcom bubble of from 1999 to 2000 all exhibit a high degree of commonality. All appear to be characterised by excessive exuberance poor financial practices by those who managed the financial institutions, poor regulatory oversight, fraudulent accounting, herd mentalities and, in many cases, a sense of infallibility. William Rhodes, the author of Banker to the World, describes the phenomenon as a common theme of the propensity of countries and markets for believing that they are different in the sense that they would be immune to bank failures that would result to a financial crisis. | |
