The Board of Directors of companies limited by shares

and the rules of Corporate Governance

The influence of positive law

Christina K. Livada,

Lecturer, Law School, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens

Abstract: The first objective of this study is to highlight the rise of

corporate governance in the last decades and the reasons thereof, the

way its rules have been integrated in the legal system, as well as the

trend of a gradual juridification of its rules, especially following the

international financial crisis (2007-2009). The second objective of the

study is to examine how the operation of the board of directors of a

limited liability company -and in particular of a listed one- is affected

by corporate governance rules.
