The Activities

SDA Bocconi Corporate Governance Lab research

Starting from the three parameters of rigor, innovation and practical relevance, the Corporate Governance Lab makes reference to a single numerical base: the ecosystem of all those Italian enterprises that exceed 20 million Euro turnover per year.  In particular:

 

  • around 10,400 family owned companies
  • around 900 coalition owned companies
  • around 350 financial companies - banks and insurance companies

 

The research, which is based on this data, is enriched by a series of training activities:

 

  • an in depth study of the role and the skills of a company’s directors with regard to governance, starting with the SDA Bocconi Open Market executive course “for non-executive and independent directors: roles, skills and responsibilities” (inserire link)
  • attendance to the SDA Bocconi Open Market course “Governance for the success of unlisted companies"
  • participation in the "Board Practice” training program which is aimed at members of the board of directors and to the members of the board of statutory auditors of the main Italian Banks
  • one-to-one training for public administrators and mayors
  • a comparison of the governance systems of the so-called homogeneous sub-populations: from owners to top management
  • an analysis of the outsider director: from the profile types to the opportunities and the weaknesses
  • a comparison between the Italian system and those used in other countries

Our Training

In fact, the Corporate Governance Lab has numerous training measures. From custom initiatives, such as benchmarks, assessments and induction activities, to conferences aimed at all stakeholders such as the annual presentations of the Observatories and the conferences dedicated to associations.
