Course Description

P745 - Corporate Governance

This course is designed to increase individual skills and knowledge of good governance practices such that graduates would be seriously considered for appointment to the Board of Directors of a small not for profit organization. The course aims to increase understanding of the legal, economic, managerial and psychological issues directors confront as well as provide a better appreciation for their normal duties. Using this knowledge, students will be asked also to consider how directors should deal with a range of complex crises: the gradual decline of a company, hostile takeovers, proxy battles, changes in corporate strategy, or the faltering performance of a CEO.
