Governo das sociedades – diagnóstico da situação em Portugal

The Corporate Governance concept is complex, multidisciplinary, encompasses several areas of economics and management, and it is far from being properly clarified. Given that the market and enterprises are in constant evolution, adapting to changes in the environment, risk and uncertainty, this is a subject which requires systematic studies, for the necessary compliance with new entrepreneurial demands. In this scope, the goal of this article is to contextualize the concept and analyze its adoption within the Portuguese entrepreneurial sector, resorting to literature revision and practical studies analysis on its implementation, thus contributing for a better understanding of the topic, reinforcing the benefits for the organization in adopting its principles and recommendations. One might conclude that the organizations, in Portugal, adhered gradually and in growing numbers to Corporate Governance with very positive results.
