Working Session 6

Who is not afraid to be a company director?

The position of a director/managing director of a company has changed substantially during the past couple of years.

Legislative changes, close monitoring by shareholders and the international economic and financial crisis have contributed to an increased attention towards management of companies.The expectations towards directors and managing directors have become much higher.

Last but not least, also the media have developed a particular interest in company management, in particular, the remuneration of top management.

This working session shall shed some light on these issues.
