Research groups

The research group aims to analyse the contribution of governance structures and/or risk management activities developed by companies on value creation processes and on the ways of risk exposure by stakeholders. The subject of study is extremely broad, including companies listed in Italy and abroad, small and medium-sized local enterprises, as well as corporate groups and networks. The group particularly verifies whether and how an improvement of corporate governance bodies and mechanisms and the adoption of a holistic, systematic and consistent approach to risk management may enhance corporate performance and create value for listed companies. The group also analyses the role that governance, internal control and risk management systems play in supporting managerialisation and organizational change of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that operate in the local context of reference. To this end, the research group adopts interpretative approaches and diversified empirical research methodologies.
