Practices, Reforms and Regulations” Rome (Italy), May 26, 2016
The way of doing business has changed unrecognizable since the time when the first corporations were created. It has chained substantially even during the last 20 years. Separation of the ownership and control in corporations creates the whole range of sophisticated processes and procedures in the activity of any company and its governance.

To what extent the corporation should be transparent, what level of the shareholder activism is optimal, how to motivate but not to force executives to gamble with the company, how to manage risk, how to work ethically: all these issues arose from the corporate governance, ownership and control paradigm.
