The COVID-19 Crisis and Its Aftermath: Corporate Governance Implications and Policy Challenges
It is already clear that the COVID-19 pandemic will have dire economic consequences, and collective thought is being applied to what policies can better ensure societies’ resilience and their quick and dynamic recovery once the crisis is over. Corporate governance scholars can also help policymakers devise sound and effective policies for this purpose. This global webinar will convene scholars, practitioners and policymakers with the aim of advancing the decision-making process.
