Description
In the 1990s, financial markets in the United States boomed. The Dow Jones Industrial
Index—a widely quoted index of the values of 30 large corporations (see Chapter 8 )—rose
from a level of 2,800 in January 1990 to more than 11,000 by the end of the decade; this
compares to a move from 100 at its inception in 1906 to 2,800 eighty-four years later.
In the early 2000s, as a result of an economic downturn in the United States and elsewhere,
this index fell back below 10,000. The index rose to over 14,000 in July 2007,
but (because of an increasing mortgage market credit crunch, particularly the subprime
mortgage market) fell back to below 13,000 within a month of hitting the all-time high. By
2008, problems in the subprime mortgage market escalated to a full blown financial crisis
and the worst recession in the United States since the Great Depression. The Dow Jones
Industrial Arerage (DJIA) fell to 6,547 in March 2009 before recovering, along with the
economy, to over 11,000 in April 2010.

CORPORATE AND BUSINESS LAWS NOTES
Trending!
‘Law’ means any rule of conduct, standard or pattern, to which actions are required to conform;
if not conformed, sanctions are imposed. When we speak of the law of a State, we use the term
‘law’ in a special and strict sense. In this sense, the term ‘law’ is defined in Oxford English
Dictionary as “the body of rules whether proceeding from formal enactment or from custom,
which a particular State or community recognises as binding on its subjects or members”. These
are rules which are recognised and acted on by courts of justice. Law may also be defined as rule
of conduct of persons (both natural and artificial), imposed upon and enforced among the
members of a given State.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ETHICS NOTES
Corporate governance is a central and dynamic aspect of business. The term ‘governance’ is
derived from the Latin word gubernare, meaning ‘to steer’, usually applying to the steering of a
ship, which implies that corporate governance involves the function of direction rather than
control.
