Abstract

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders is considered to be a boring and mandatory annual ceremony. At present, its information, forum, decision-making functions, and voting procedures are all flawed. As a new technology, the introduction of blockchain can greatly reduce the cost of shareholder voting and company organization costs, improve the company’s decision-making efficiency and the transparency of voting and elections, and effectively solve the problems existing in the current annual general meeting of shareholders. The research in this paper provides an intelligent solution for the traditional inefficiency of corporate governance.
