The quality of corporate governance not only influences the development of the whole stock market from macroscopic, but also influences the market value of the stock of listed companies from microcosmic. At present most articles about company's value or performance and corporate governance in China emphasize a certain specific respect such as ownership structure, structure and composition of the board of directors and independent director, but they have not considered the impact of a series of mechanisms of corporate governance on company's performance and value in an all-round way.
