Beskrivning
Corporate outcomes depend on an interplay between different corporate governance mechanisms. These mechanisms include the board of directors, incentives, ownership structures, legal and institutional environment, as well as the latest social pressures for sustainability. Countries differ in the setup of the corporate governance systems, but most corporate governance research comes from an Anglo-Saxon environment, most notably USA. In this research project we intend explore the Swedish corporate governance context and its impact on corporate outcomes. We focus on chosen aspects of a board of directors’ structure, including gender representation, committee structures, as well as incentives systems to leading corporate decision makers.
