Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Corporate governance, the set of policies, process and customs by which an institution is directed, is a topic of increasing importance. How a company is governed influences corporate performance, rights and relationships with its stakeholders. This course aims to provide a deep understanding of the fundamentals of corporate governance from a variety of angles ' the board of directors, senior management, investors, media, regulators and society ' and from an international perspective. After a highlight on the main issues of corporate governance (e.g. the relationships between owners, management, board and institutional environment), relevant theories and corporate governance practices will be analyzed. Students will gain skills required for understanding corporate behavior and will be introduced to issues in business and government relations through lectures, discussion and case/policy studies.
