Corporate Governance and Control – An International Perspective aims at giving the student a clear vision of how important it is in business to ensure that shareholders’ and stakeholders’ rights and expectations are protected from management deviation or abuse. It also shows how trust must be built in corporate behaviour so that sound and efficient markets for capital allocation are developed and sustained. After introducing the main structural concepts and principles of Corporate Governance, the course covers practices and regulations across geographic areas such as Europe, North America, Brazil, China and Japan. Its methodology is based on class presentations and discussion of case-studies.
