Abstract

This paper is based on an empirical analysis of corporate governance in the Czech Republic (its model, its structures and the functioning of boards) . Simultaneously, an effort is made to add a business/economic ethics perspective to this analytical view. The approach to ethics is primarily institutional: it refers less to actions than to institutions as sets of formal and informal rules.

This research was supported by Charles University, Czech Republic and by Egon Zehnder International.
