Abstract:

This summary shares many of the themes that emerged from a series of interviews we conducted in 2003 on “Corporate Governance and Accountability.”  We interviewed 29 faculty members in the areas of accounting, business law, economics, finance, and strategy.  We asked about the current state of research, practice, and teaching on corporate governance and what new approaches may be needed.  We note some of the differing points of view that we heard across the interviews. We organize the summary in a question and answer format, to capture issues that are open for exploration. The questions are not the literal questions we asked in the interviews, but rather questions that arise for scholars and teachers in this area. These ideas serve as a springboard for a convening we hosted on January 30, 2004, which was designed around the topics and insights raised in the interviews.
