Corporate Strategy and Governance

This Interest Group focuses on questions concerning corporate strategy and governance. For example, which businesses should be included in a firm’s portfolio? How should the resulting “family” be managed for coherence? How should the portfolio be restructured/diversified? How should the firm diversify – mergers and acquisitions versus organic growth? What are the roles of the corporate center and the board of directors in managing a firm’s stakeholders and shareholders? How do they ensure a firm’s ethical and socially responsive behavior? How does the market for corporate control function?
