How does corporate governance affect a firm’s ability to create value? The short answer is, hugely!
Poor corporate governance results in management focused on narrowly-defined, short-term objectives to the detriment of the long-term well-being (i.e., value creation) of the organization.

Good corporate governance ensures management maintains an orientation toward value creation, meaning a broad perspective on the myriad elements of performance that drive value and a long-term focus to ensure proper management of the tradeoff between near-term resource allocations and future resource allocations.
 
While many talks about the importance of long-term focus and sustainability, we will discuss these concepts using the rigor of the principles of finance which translate fuzzy language into more concrete implications and measurements.

For whom is this relevant?
• all board members or managers of any business independent of ownership structure
• investors who seek to invest in and oversee successful organizations, such as those in private equity or activist hedge funds
• for those who invest in publicly traded companies and seek to be able to assess and distinguish value-oriented governance from non-value- oriented (and therefore likely value-destroying) governance, so as to avoid investing in value-destroying companies.
• for those investing in or managing organizations, others for whom this content is important to include people going to consulting firms, investment banks, accounting firms, or law firms, who advise organizations on these issues.

Program overview:
The program aims to integrate knowledge from different courses and business disciplines, as value creation requires simultaneous prioritization across all areas of business. A good governance structure will have implications for all aspects of management. As a result, this course will draw upon several business disciplines, in addition, to finance, though the focus will be on the financial aspects and perspective of corporate governance.
