Description

Comparative Corporate Governance is an elective subject in postgraduate programs offered by the Faculty of Law in which undergraduate students who have completed Companies Law may be permitted to enrol. Using interactive class discussion among the students, facilitated by the instructor, this subject will examine the concepts of the firm, corporation and corporate group, the thematic history of corporate laws, and corporate governance.  Jurisdictions used for comparative purposes will include Australia, the UK, New Zealand, the US, Germany, Japan, China, Singapore and Korea, and possibly other Asian and European models.  Among the corporate governance themes to be examined are directors powers and duties, composition of the board, the ‘profession’ of director, corporate social responsibility (CSR), shareholder activism, governance scandals and the significance of governance in the modern age as well as the purpose of corporations in the 21st century.
