- The course addresses issues related to corporate governance, the variety of governance models and strategies, with particular reference to innovation and internationalisation strategies, and their connection to corporate governance. The course is structured into three parts.
Part One – Corporate Governance and the variety of governance models
The first part analyses the evolution of the main theoretical paradigms of the firm, from the neoclassical view to the perspective of corporate governance. It examines ownership and decision-making models (with particular attention to the entrepreneurial and managerial models), highlighting their characteristics, competitive advantages, and strategic implications. The module provides the theoretical foundations for understanding the link among governance, performance, and the evolutionary variety of firms.
Part Two – Corporate Governance and Innovation Strategies
The second part examines the relationship between corporate governance and innovation strategies. It covers various forms and models of innovation in relation to corporate governance, standard conflicts and the dominant design, decisions about market entry timing, and the organization of innovative processes, with a particular focus on managing development teams for new products and their relationship to corporate governance.
Part Three – Corporate Governance and Internationalisation Strategies
The third part examines the relationship between corporate governance and internationalisation strategies. It addresses the strategies and methods of internationalisation for companies, with particular reference to the relationship between corporate governance and international strategies, business models in export activities, overseas production, and international collaboration agreements. - Reference texts
