Funded by a Mizzou Advantage grant, “Corporate Governance: The Role of the Board of Directors in Understanding/Managing Disruptive Technologies” will feature discussions between and among academics and practitioners on board composition, incentives and regulation, as well as opportunities for conducting cross-disciplinary research.
