Resumo(s)
This thesis is a case study on Corporate Governance and Business Ethics, using the Portuguese
Corporate Law as a general setting. The thesis was conducted in Portugal with illustrations on past
cases under the Business Judgment Rule of the State of Delaware, U.SA along with illustrations on
current cases in Portugal under the Portuguese Judicial setting, along with a comparative analysis
between both.
A debate is being considered among scholars and executives; a debate on best practices within
corporate governance and corporate law, associated with recent discoveries of unlawful investments
that lead to the bankruptcy of leading institutions and an aggravation of the crisis in Portugal. The
study aimed at learning possible reasons and causes for the current situation of the country’s
corporations along with attempts to discover the best way to move forward.
From the interviews and analysis conducted, this paper concluded that the corporate governance
structure and legal frameworks in Portugal were not the sole influencers behind the actions and
decisions of Corporate Executives, nor were they the main triggers for the recent corporate mishaps.
But it is rather a combination of different factors that played a significant role, such as cultural and
ethical aspects, individual personalities, and others all of which created gray areas beyond the legal
structure, which in turn accelerated and aggravated the corporate governance crisis in the country.
