Governance and Ownership Processes in Municipal Corporations
Research by Professor Timur Uman, Associate Professor Elin Smith and Professor Sven-Olof Collin. Board behavior in municipal corporation remains to be understudied and there is a limited knowledge on how these boards function.
By performing a longitudinal observational study of two boards and management teams this project explores board work and board behavior and explores how ownership processes are reflected in municipal boards’ functioning.
The project also relies on a survey data to the CEOs of all Swedish municipal corporations to explore municipal boards processes and functioning from CEO’s perspective. The project is financed by Jan Wallander, Tom Hedelius and Tore Browaldhs Foundation.
