Implenia, Syngenta, Clariant: These are just three of many Swiss corporations that have recently fallen under pressure from investors who demand better financial results – in the short term, no less.

The Corporate Governance Competence Centre of the University of St.Gallen (HSG), led by Prof. Dr. Andreas Binder and chaired by Prof. Winfried Ruigrok, Ph.D. believes there is an urgent need for a debate on this subject.
