| Omschrijving | The world of the corporate upper echelons has changed rapidly and significantly in the last two decades. Ongoing corporate scandals and the global financial crisis of 2008 have generated important questions about the concentration of power at the top of large corporations. Who runs these large corporations? How are these executives monitored and on behalf of whom? What is the basis of such corporate governance systems, and how do these systems change over time? What determines differences and similarities between corporate governance systems between countries? What does the increasing concentration of capital in the hands of large institutional investors and the super-rich imply for this system? And very recently, how does the system survive a huge economic shock stemming from global pandemics like the spread of corona virus? Do present day corporations have the right purpose and still serve the needs of society? This course introduces students to the recent debates in this field to help them develop a better understanding of the inner circles of corporate power and its consequences. | ||||||||
