Abstract
Corporate Governance plays an important role in increasing the competitiveness of shareholding companies through enhancing transparency, improving corporate management, ensuring the formulation of appropriate strategic decisions and fair treatment of shareholders. This study measures Palestinian public shareholding companies’ adherence to corporate governance principles, as issued by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Results of the survey analysis showed that practicing corporate governance at senior levels increases ability to attract investments and support financial performance; it also promotes capacity to compete in the long run.
