Corporate governance issues have generated intense debate and discussion worldwide. As India takes rapid strides toward becoming an economic “superpower,” one of the most important elements for success among Indian businesses is corporate governance. Indian boards should aim to benchmark their corporate governance practices against those of the world's best organizations.
The Wharton School, a global leader in executive education, and Egon Zehnder International, a firm specializing in board consulting and building leadership teams, have joined forces with eminent business leaders from corporate India for the third year in a row to offer Governing the Corporation: Enhancing the Effectiveness of the Board.
This program offers strategic insights into the dynamics of the boardroom. Sessions discussing mergers, acquisitions, alliances, and a boardroom simulation will prepare you for the current business climate in India — which is expected to remain in place for the foreseeable future.
