Corporate Governance

Director: Ernie Englander

There is a long academic tradition to examining corporate governance, but too often that has taken place within the narrow confines of a strictly legal or financial perspective. The Corporate Governance Program looks at the basic questions of governance from a multi-disciplinary perspective: what is the purpose of the corporation, in whose interests should the corporation be run, and who should run the corporation? Such a perspective can be achieved by bringing historical and political factors into our work and introducing a cross-national experience. The Program supports research and teaching and brings together scholars, corporate leaders, and public policymakers to best connect the theory and practice of corporate governance.
