da Silveira, Alexandre Di Miceli, Looking Forward: Corporate Governance of the Successful 21st Century Company (Presentation Slides) (June 20, 2016). Available for download at SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=279828

“This is a PPT presentation that discusses what is coming next on corporate governance (CG) and in which ways the successful business of the 21st century will differ from its successful 20th century counterpart. The presentation is divided into five key messages:

1) This is a moment of lower trust in big business around the world due to successive financial crises, CG misconducts, and politically-related corruption scandals;
2) There is an increasingly criticism on the standard narrative for CG based on shareholder value maximization;
3) One of the few consensuses in this changing world is that stakeholders have increasingly higher expectations about the role of companies in society;
4) There is a new approach for CG and the successful business of the 21st century based on: ethical culture & intrinsic values, stakeholder orientation, and conscious capitalism; and,
5) There is growing evidence that adopting this new approach to CG pays off.”
