This manual offers an up-to-date discussion of the main topics related to Corporate Governance—a cross-cutting subject that significantly impacts many aspects of business dynamics. The book is intended both for students in a master's degree program and for managers who wish to deepen their understanding of the economic and legal issues associated with this field. The various topics are presented in a straightforward manner, occasionally adopting an academic tone, and consistently making use of practical examples and current regulations with a special focus on Italy.The subjects covered in this volume include: Corporate Governance issues and corresponding solutions in companies with dispersed ownership; conflicts between majority and minority shareholders, and the legal tools used to strengthen control in companies with concentrated ownership; mechanisms designed to protect the interests of minority shareholders; major Corporate Governance reforms that have taken place in Italy; the value of voting rights and the factors that influence them; takeovers, the regulation of control transfers, and the European directive on Public Takeover Bids. A full understanding of the content requires only a basic knowledge of business mechanisms and logic. This first volume supports a typical Corporate Governance course within a University program or an MBA.
