Corporate Ownership and Control: Economic, Historical and Legal AspectsFaculty of Law, CambridgeMonday 12th January 2009
An interdisciplinary one day conference exploring a key corporate governance topic. In contrast with most other countries, large UK companies are typically characterised by a separation of ownership and control. What explains the British pattern? How did UK equity markets evolve over time? What impact did regulation have on the development of British publicly traded companies? How did corporate ownership and control evolve elsewhere? Will a divorce between ownership and control continue to be a hallmark of corporate governance going forward? An interdisciplinary and international panel of experts will explore these and related questions in this one day conference, using as the departure point Brian Cheffins’ new Oxford University Press book Corporate Ownership and Control: British Business Transformed.
