Course Objectives

In this course, first, the definition and best practices of corporate governance (CG) and its contribution to the sustainability of the companies will be taught and thus the importance of good governance will be understood. Then, the developments in the regulations and codes at the global level will be explained; regulation versus market enforcement will be discussed. Afterwards, the role of institutional investors as shareholders and impact on the governance structure of the companies will be delivered. Eminent corporate governance scandals like Enron and Parmalat will be examined. The students then will be asked to analyze the global listed companies from CG perspective and deliver the CG scandal they were involved in. After explaining theories on CG, such as agency versus stewardship theory, cases from daily business life will be shared to enable the students to conceptualize what they have learned.
