Codetermination: the Presence of Workers on the Board. A Depth Analysis

Forcillo, Donato (2017): Codetermination: the Presence of Workers on the Board. A Depth Analysis.

Abstract

We show the most relevant literature regarding the corporate governance system of Codetermination, which includes the presence of workers' representatives on the board. The aim is to thoroughly analyse the topic and to fill a gap present in the current literature, the absence of an updated and extensive literature review, which analyses both the theoretical and empirical perspective. This particular analysis allows one to see a clear picture of this sensitive issue of governance, mainly present in the German world, but expanding to other countries especially in northern Europe, also as a result of the recent European Union directives.
