| 備考/ NotesNotes |
By analyzing corporate governance systems and many interesting real-world case studies – both successes and failures – from various parts of the world, we will discover the vital and growing links between corporate governance and international business. We will also develop skills helpful in identifying and thereafter remedying corporate governance weaknesses/vulnerabilities within the organizations you may join in the future.
Additionally, by considering significant trends and topics pertaining to corporate governance such as Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), shareholder and stakeholder activism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Corporate Socio-Political Activism (CSA), AI ethics, and privacy and data protection regulatory compliance, we will come to understand how company valuations and reputations are being shaped by corporate governance in the modern business world.
Through interactive lectures, role plays, and small group exercises, we will explore corporate governance as it is viewed and implemented in various countries and companies around the globe – including the ongoing debate regarding shareholder primacy versus multi-stakeholder governance principles.
Numerous historic and modern case studies of corporate governance success stories and, in contrast, famous crises and scandals will provide valuable insights into best practices to pursue and red flags to be cautious of as future legal and/or business professionals.
We will consistently investigate the important links between corporate governance – a combination of business, legal, ethics, and even political and social factors – and actual business results, competitiveness, enterprise risk management (ERM) (e.g., reputation risks), share/enterprise value, and employer branding (including in terms of employee recruitment and retention).
In addition, our course will allow us to assess intriguing issues and trends related to corporate governance such as Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), stakeholder activism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Corporate Socio-Political Activism (CSA), AI ethics, and expectations/regulations around privacy and data protection.
[Please note that In-class Participation/Effort does not mean that students who speak the most or who always lead discussions will be evaluated more favorably. Rather, a willingness to learn and engage in activities to the best of one’s abilities – in class-wide settings, in small groups, and/or even via interactions with the lecturer himself (in person or by email) - along with improvement over the entire course will be highly regarded.]
