The fundamental aspects studied include good corporate governance practices (corporate social responsibility and regulatory compliance); the actions of the management body of commercial companies (duties of diligence and loyalty); the corporate liability of company directors (liability for damages and liability for corporate obligations); pre-bankruptcy alternatives in insolvency (refinancing agreements and out-of-court payment agreements); insolvency proceedings (effects and solutions); and the use of technology in business management (efficiency-risk-cost).
