Corporate Governance Research Initiative Collection

The Corporate Governance Research Initiative provides research and insights on a broad range of issues facing corporations and boards of directors, including executive compensation, board governance, CEO succession, and proxy voting. Through our research and efforts, we strive to engage academics and professionals to bridge the gap between theory and practice, and to promote corporate governance as an independent area of teaching and scholarship in business schools worldwide. Our research covers a broad range of issues facing corporations and boards of directors, including principles of corporate governance, leadership and succession planning, compensation, audit and risk, and shareholders and proxy advisory.
