In recent years, corporate governance has become a top priority for companies, CEOs, boards of directors, investors and regulators. The widely divergent views of board members, regulators, and investors suggest a need for forums for dialogue as well as independent research grounded in rigorous methods. The IESE Center for Corporate Governance (CCG) aims to address this need.
