Course Content
|
Corporate Governance can be defined as the “operating system” for company managers. Governance in this sense includes company law, ownership structure, boards and management incentives. As governance differs from company to company and from country to country, international managers need a professional understanding of these differences. The course introduces students to the mechanisms of governance in different systems such as the US, Japan, Germany, and Scandinavia. The course covers the mechanisms of governance and comparative systems of governance. |
