Overview
Key facts
London School of Economics and Political Science's Introduction to Corporate Law and Governance course provides students with an introduction to corporate law and the legal and non-legal governance mechanisms which encourage directors to act in their company's best interest. Beginning with an introduction to company law, the course then considers the regulation and governance of companies.
Designed to situate corporate law and governance mechanisms in the economic and business context in which they operate, this course will engage you with important questions such as how do corporate law and governance mechanisms facilitate economic activity? As well as how do they respond to the problems generated by the organisational form of the company?Using an explicitly comparative approach drawing on UK and US corporate law, as well as examples from continental European companies, you will understand the alternative ways corporate law can respond to different economic demands and problems.
