Samme prøveform som ved ordinær prøve
Hvis antallet af eksaminander til omprøven tilsiger, at prøven
mest hensigtsmæssigt kan afholdes som mundtlig prøve, vil
sekretariatet give meddelelse om at omprøven afholdes som mundtlig
prøve i stedet. Der vil i så fald være bi-eksaminator, medmindre
prøven er ekstern.
The course will be examined by a
four-hour written examination at the end of the course. Candidates
will be required to answer essay and/or problem questions, which
may cut across topics covered in the course. Candidates will be
expected to show a detailed analytical knowledge of relevant
materials. They will also need to display a good grasp of the
theoretical and contextual readings, an ability to analyse, assess
and synthesise the corporate governance theory with the legal
material, an understanding of the strengths and limits of
comparative and interdisciplinary perspective, and an ability to
present a clear, concise and well-structured argument with some of
their own insights.

| Kursets indhold, forløb og pædagogik |
|
The course ‘Interdisciplinary Corporate Law and Governance’ is
designed to constitute a platform for interdisciplinary study of
major areas of corporate law and governance, both from a legal and
an economics/management perspective. The course is a collaboration
between the Law Department (Professor Georg Ringe) and the Center
for Corporate Governance / Department of International Economics
and Management (Professor Steen Thomsen).
The approach taken will be both functional and comparative, looking
at a series of core problems with which any system of corporate
governance must deal, and analysing, from a functional perspective,
the solutions adopted by a number of legal systems. The main focus
will be on legal systems of the UK, US, Germany and Denmark. The
course seeks to situate these solutions in the underlying concepts
and assumptions of the chosen systems, as these often provide an
explanation for divergences. To this end, the course begins with a
contextual overview of ‘systems’ of corporate governance, which
material is then applied in the following seminars on more
substantive topics. Such a comparative study is intended to enable
students to see their own system of corporate governance in a new
and more meaningful light, and to be able to form new views about
its future development.

| Undervisningsformer |
The bulk of teaching provision will take the form
of 11 two-hour lectures. For these lectures, students will be
provided with a detailed reading list and, wherever possible, with
course materials accessible through the intranet. Half of these
lectures will be covered by Professor Georg Ringe, half by
Professor Steen Thomsen.
Moreover, there will be 5 two-hour ‘seminar’ sessions, devoted to
in-depth discussions of the material covered in the lectures. These
seminars will be co-taught by both Professors in order to enable
interdisciplinary discussions and mutual learning. Students may be
invited to give short presentations. |
| Foreløbig litteratur |
|
Students will be expected to read a range of survey articles and
research papers.
Background reading includes
Kraakman et al, The Anatomy of Corporate Law (2nd edn OUP
2009)
Easterbrook and Fischel, The Economic Structure of Corporate
Law (Cambridge Mass., Harvard University Press 1991)
The complete reading list will appear in the semester
plan.
