About this course
Who sets an organization’s direction, and who is responsible for running it? Prof John Martey FCG uses that distinction to introduce corporate governance, its scope and the principles behind responsible oversight.
The course moves from definitions and theories to approaches to governance, then compares governance with general management. Its published outline includes the consequences of poor governance and the Enron case, giving learners a context for understanding why oversight matters. Exercises accompany the opening unit.

This is an open-entry introduction with no prior qualification required. It suits someone preparing to study governance more deeply or trying to understand the relationship between boards, executives and other organizational roles.
The emphasis is conceptual. Completing these lessons does not provide a jurisdiction-specific compliance checklist or qualify a learner to give legal advice. The final section points to other courses; those separate offerings are outside the scope of this free course.
