Why Attend

Corporate governance is a critical topic that has recently started attracting more attention in business schools and among legislatures, with this trend only increasing. While there are different models for corporate governance, all of them aim to organize the relationship between the company and its stakeholders. Governance models start with Shareholder Wealth Maximization (SWM), which stresses owners' rights, as applied mainly in the US and UK. Other methods of governance, applied in Germany or Japan, for example, bring other stakeholders, such as the workforce and bankers, into play. In addition to these models, this course also covers why board membership may be one tier or two tiers and includes discussions about board structure, committees, their functions and duties, the audit committee, and the appointment and remuneration committee. Other topics discussed are the chairman's role and the effect of institutional investors.
