Corporate Governance in East Asia: Culture, Psychology, Economics and Law May 4-5, 2006 Is there something “different” about East Asian culture and psychology that means that any attempt to reform corporate governance through the adoption of Western norms is destined to fail? Or is the notion of “difference” simply an excuse for corruption and lack of transparency? And then again, do East Asian culture and psychology hold strengths for corporate governance that wait to be discovered? In a unique but essential dialogue, psychologists, economists, legal scholars and practitioners from the West, China and Korea will debate these questions and propose solutions at “Corporate Governance in East Asia: Culture, Psychology, Economics and Law.” Keynote speakers include a senior advisor to the World Bank and co-founder of the Global Corporate Governance Academic Network, Stijn Claessens, and psychologist Richard Nisbett, author of “The Geography of Thought: How Asians and Westerners think Differently… and Why.” For anyone trying to conduct business or simply understand East Asian cultures, this conference will provide an unparalleled depth and breadth of insights. 11 hours of MCLE credit is available.
