Investors, employees, suppliers, customers, charities etc. are potentially hurt through poor corporate governance practices and helped with “best” practices for the entity in question. Through research and other activities, our faculty continue to develop knowledge and expertise in the area of corporate governance. The mission of the CGG is to leverage such expertise, and through our faculty, to have a positive impact on the corporate governance landscape and on the performance of organizations.
About the Corporate Governance Group
The Corporate Governance Group was founded in 1995. We are a group of faculty actively engaged in corporate governance-related activities in the areas of research, teaching and service. Our outreach to the community includes faculty sitting on boards, providing opinions to the press, consulting, expert witness work, boardroom and classroom education, and publishing in both trade and academic journals.
