Two interrelated issues are analysed: 1) the extension in which increasing integration in financial and product markets has been affecting the governance pattern of German companies; 2) the claim that this pattern is converging towards that prevailing in the United States. It is argued that, despite outstanding transformations in the way German companies are controlled, there remain some stark contrasts with the Anglo-Saxon model.
