Abstract

The events that took place since 2007 raised new challenges to the economy. The traditional approaches to the corporate governance and to the private property are reshaped. The interests of the society and of the national economy win the upper hand against the interests of the company. The participants and the instruments of the corporate governance are surrounded by a new reality.
