Dear colleagues and friends,
This blog project is about sharing of knowledge, collaboration and getting your name out in the CG-Community as Corporate Governance is becoming an issue of global importance - particularly for international executives who move around the globe and do not always know what they are getting into when asked to accept a board or management position. The goal of this blog is intended to be both, an academic forum and a platform for the exchange of ideas, personal experiences and good thoughts - from professionals around the globe as well as executives and board members. I hope that all of you reading this blog will actively participate by placing comments and even consider writing an article once in a while. Please also tell your colleagues and friends who are engaged in Corporate Governance about this project and encourage them to make contributions as well.

Kindest regards

Peter H. Dehnen

P.S. Any suggestions as to making this blog better are always welcome.
