Discuss the corporate control of your business. Explain why your business in Mexico is exposed to agency problems

Corporate Control and Agency Problems

For  instance, Mr. Jones has a business in Mexico and hires professional managers, but he cannot be there to control their actions always.  There are lots of agency problems because of the conflict of interests that is prevalent and the inexistence of goal congruence.

His corporate managers are his agents, as the stockholder.  However, most times, these managers do not run the businesses they are entrusted with fiduciary duties in the best interests of  Mr. Jones or the principals who appointed them to the positions.  They carry out their own agendas and try to satisfy their selfish interests.

Explanation:

Is there any wonder Mr. Jones' business in Mexico is exposed to agency problems?  The managers who are your agents will never, at all times, protect your interests in the business.  They try as much as possible to satisfy their own interests.  Where there is no goal congruence, managers will always expose their principals to agency problems.  To curtail these problems, Mr. Jones and the other stockholders must devise means to align the interests of the managers with those of the stockholders.  One of the ways of achieving this is through stock compensation and the limitation of compensation in cash.
