The main objective of the course is to provide students with knowledge about corporations and their management structures and processes. Developing good corporate governance practices is essential for companies that want to prosper in markets, gain additional capital, gain a competitive edge, and survive in the world of increasingly competitive challenges in a rapidly changing environment. In addition, this development is also interesting for countries that want to stimulate investment in the private sector, attract foreign investment and create the context of economic growth.
By mastering the course, students will gain knowledge and understanding about: the economic theories used in the analysis of the corporate governance system; various elements of the corporate governance system; the interdependence of internal and external corporate governance mechanisms; international differences in corporate governance systems; development and influence of the Code of Best Practice of Corporate Governance.
