The project focuses on Corporate Governance Research; empirical research and primarily the study of Norwegian firms. The project will use data that are difficult to obtain in other countries (such as unusually detailed ownership data for listed firms and high-quality accounting data for non-listed firms) or that reflect institutional environments which are unique internationally (such as mandatory representation of employees and females on the board of directors). The research pays special attention to the private industry in general and to non-listed firms and family firms in particular. The quality control activity are a careful selection of research teams, a commitment to publishing in reputable academic journals, close interaction with the business community and regulating bodies, and a policy of disseminating the findings to the general public through the media.
