Introduction to Oppression & Mismanagement

In a world where majority rule is prominent, there is a need for good corporate governance practises which protects the rights of the shareholders. Here comes the provision of oppression and mismanagement prevention techniques in good governance. After the Enron scandal in USA and Satyam Scandal in India, there arose an extreme need for independence in corporate practises in India too. This led to the amendment in Companies Act and led to the development of the provisions for independent directors. 

Oppression refers to the situations where the rights of the shareholders are improperly restricted. Mismanagement is when there is inefficient management on part of the directors. These issues can arise due to a variety of factors, including concentration of power, lack of transparency, conflicts of interest, or unethical behaviour. Both oppression and poor corporate governance practises can result in serious outcomes like a decline in investor confidence, legal issues, financial instability, or even the collapse of a business.
