This course in Corporate Governance will be an overview of basic theory and international issues, looking at the systems, rules, and current topics of discussion in the field of international corporate governance. The goal is to introduce briefly the concepts and rules underlying domestic and foreign corporations’ structures for governance and then to examine the unique situations and problems faced by international corporations managing on a global level. The course will be divided into two portions—The first half of the semester will focus on a general overview of the corporate structure; the role of the various players including investors and the board of directors; and the general underlying laws, theories, and rules. The second half will the change to an international focus, as we walk step-by-step through the variations of corporate governance seen in different countries throughout the world. #TeachAcademicsInAsia
