As a research center based at a major
business school, the IFGE's mission is to develop and deepen the knowledge of
corporate governance and to make that knowledge available to the wider
public. It is essential, therefore, to facilitate the exchange of ideas and
experiences through meetings of those who face these issues on a daily basis,
be they researchers or firm actors, in order to promote a fruitful growth of
knowledge. It is our belief that an area as fundamental to society as
corporate governance cannot be the domain of only one interest group. All
stakeholders must have a place in this social dialogue. We believe that
legitimate and efficient solutions for firm governance can only be built from
a diversity of opinions and expectations.
The IFGE takes an active role in the
formation and development of high level researchers. If you are a doctoral
candidate, send us a cover letter along with a detailed description of your
research project. Furthermore, EM LYON has a PhD program and delivers a
doctorate, to which interested candidates may apply.
The ECGG: A European network of corporate governance research
In 2005 we participated in the creation
of a network of researchers based at Europe's top business schools. The
objective: the creation of high quality research through the facilitation of
a comprehensive exchange of ideas and through short term research assignments
for both doctoral candidates and established researchers at member
institutions.
Work at the Institute is focused on four
projects: :
"The ECGN
is an intellectual space where governance scholars may meet to present and
discuss their researches. It is particularly insightful to participate
actively to the network"
