Microfinance is high on the public agenda, and better corporate governance has been identified as a key factor for enhancing
the viability of the industry. However, recent literature on the subject struggles to identify the corporate governance mechanisms
that influence the performance of the Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs). Guided by stakeholder and agency theories, this paper
uses a historical parallel found in savings banks to present corporate governance lessons for MFIs, particularly non-profit
MFIs, today. The findings indicate that monitoring by bank associations, depositors, donors, and local communities was important
in securing the survival of savings banks. In addition, a willingness to expand their mission to serve wealthier customers
alongside the poor helped the banks become financially viable. These findings could prompt a rethinking of microfinance governance,
which stresses regulation, for-profit ownership, and traditional vertical board control. The paper argues that a broader and
more stakeholder-based understanding of corporate governance is necessary. Moreover, the paper demonstrates that historical
studies can provide governance lessons for today. 相似文献
