Research
The Rock Center provides an environment focused on innovation and collaboration, drawing on the world-class resources of Stanford University, and serves as a focal point for sustained empirical research. The Center’s research applies rigorous methods to understand the performance consequences of corporate governance by taking an in-depth and interdisciplinary look at the inner workings of corporate boards, regulators, institutional investors, consultants, and others involved in the governance process.
The Rock Center Working Paper Series offers an e-library of research papers and abstracts on corporate governance topics.
The Corporate Governance Research Initiative develops insights into the practice of corporate governance, in order to advance intellectual understanding of this critical area of business management. Our latest Stanford Closer Look piece, Governance Gone Wild: Epic Misbehavior at Uber Technologies, examines the roles that leadership and culture play in contributing to chronic misbehavior, the manner in which it takes root in an organization, and how difficult it is to change culture once it is established.
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) Clearinghouse, a collaboration with Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, operates as a database, a repository of original source documents, and a supplier of analytics relating to the enforcement of the FCPA.
The Securities Class Action Clearinghouse (SCAC), a collaboration with Cornerstone Research, provides detailed information related to the prosecution, defense, and settlement of federal class action securities fraud litigation. The SCAC team maintains a filings database of more than 4,000 securities class action lawsuits filed since the passage of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
