The purpose of this course is to offer an appreciation of the importance, an understanding of the mechanisms, as well as an overview of the particular issues of corporate governance today. Indeed, many recent problems of quite reputable and firmly established corporations – e.g., Swissair, Enron, Arthur Andersen, Parmalat, Adecco, Yukos, Barings, Worldcom, UBS have highlighted the importance of, and sometimes the need for, better corporate governance. On the other hand, start-ups also need good corporate governance in order to succeed. As a matter of fact, it is today generally admitted that there exists a relationship between governance practices and corporate performance. As a consequence, increasing attention is being paid lately to questions of how firms and all other organizations for that matter are being “governed” and how they relate to shareholders in particular and to stakeholders in general. The course addresses this broad issue.
