On behalf of the sponsoring institutions, the Global Corporate Governance Forum (Forum) and the Asian Institute of Corporate Governance (AICG), we would like to welcome you to the official site of the International Research Conference on Corporate Governance in Emerging Markets which was held from November 15th – 17th, 2007 in Istanbul, Turkey.
As a vehicle to promote the Forum’s pillar of Sponsoring Research, the Conference aims to stimulate a network of researchers from developed and emerging market countries. Through this medium, we hope to facilitate the dissemination of state of the art research on corporate governance in emerging markets with the objective of supporting policy and practice development.
As a means to complement the network of leading researchers and academics, the program introduces prominent thought leaders in the area of corporate governance to reflect on research outcomes from the practitioners’ point of view. Their role is twofold: (1) to create synergy and dialogue on both research priorities and the implications of research for policy development, and (2) to contextualize research findings to identify areas for reform in practice terms.
The Conference’s Organizing Committee has deliberately put together a program that is both intellectually invigorating and culturally stimulating. With this in mind, we hope you take advantage of the cultural activities around Istanbul as well as the benefit from what offers to be a comprehensive insight into a number of contemporary areas of academic research in corporate governance.
This conference also served as an opportunity to participate in the Forum’s work, supported generously by AICG.
