Learning outcomes
The course aims at developing Ph.D. students’ knowledge about the theoretical framework of Corporate Governance (CG), making them understanding how and from where the problem of governance arises in states, public and private entities.
The solution to this problem should promote transparent and efficient markets, be consistent with the rule of law and clearly articulate the division of responsibilities among different supervisory, regulatory and enforcement authorities.
Focussing on a corporate level, lectures will show how firms are controlled, who actually exercise this control, the way to reduce and manage corporate risk through effective internal control systems, and mechanisms driving the distribution of the created value among shareholders.
The historical evolution of theories regarding CG and different related topics are both considered, to get tools useful to carry on (or to understand) CG research, and to better understand and use related methodologies. Some CG papers regarding CG will examined in a critical way.
The course will provide the students the opportunity to (a) understand and debate the current and up-to-date scientific research on CG through the analysis of some of the CG papers presented in recent international conferences; (b) listen to current researches developed by scholars belonging to our university; (c) discuss some recent papers dealing with CG topics with an active contribution by the PhD Students themselves.
