Edition 5ISBN: 1119561205 Exercise 1
Read the definitions of corporate governance provided in this chapter. What would be your own, preferred definition of 'corporate governance'?
Explanation
Clearly, there is no set answer to this question as it is completely subjective. The aim of the question is to encourage students to read a broad range of material and assess the competing theories in order to arrive at their own personal definition and viewpoint. The discussion should centre on whether the student prefers a narrow (shareholder-oriented) or a broad (stakeholder-oriented) view. One interesting exercise which could be carried out in a tutorial session on the basis of this question would be to make a record of the students' definitions of corporate governance. Then at the end of the module, in the final tutorial session, the students could be asked to write another definition of corporate governance. The definitions and perceptions of the subject of corporate governance held by the students before and after the module would serve as an interesting basis for comparison.
