This panel will address the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the structure and governance of corporations. It will address the following questions: What did the pandemic reveal about corporate purpose? How did corporations in the US and abroad balance the interests of shareholders, employees, and customers? Have corporations responded differently in different countries? Are these differences mainly the results of law or culture? How will corporations respond to the disruption of global supply chains? How have the government responses reoriented the relationship between multinational corporations and nation-states? Will the pandemic fundamentally reshape the nature of corporations and corporate law?
