The INSEAD Corporate Governance Centre undertakes cutting-edge research and teaching tailored to the needs of boards. It is a new programme designed to foster a global dialogue on the challenges facing board members in an international context.
In a more globalised, interdependent and ever-changing world, corporate governance reform has emerged as a critical business issue, thrust on the world stage by the financial crisis and a number of high profile corporate failures. This has led to an increase of regulatory efforts to identify and codify good governance practices to rebuild public and market trust and an emergence of a new paradigm in the corporate governance realm.
The Centre’s activities harness INSEAD’s expertise in multiple disciplines—accounting, finance, economics, strategy, risk-management, entrepreneurship, family governance, corporate social responsibility—for a comprehensive and sustainable response to the challenges facing directors today. It brings an unmatched international viewpoint to its activities thanks to INSEAD’s position as The Business School for the World, with its three campuses in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
