In the era of globalization, the complexities of corporate
environments demand a nuanced understanding of corporate governance mechanisms.
This paper explores the evolving landscape of corporate governance in response
to global events and the efforts of international and European organizations to
promulgate common principles. Best practices are reshaping the roles of
management bodies and stakeholders, influencing decision-making processes and
internal control systems. While corporate governance shares foundational
principles internationally, distinct models emerge within different cultural
and historical contexts. Focusing on Italian and Dutch corporate governance
systems, this study examines prevalent features, drawing on current company law
and regulations. The Dutch model offers flexibility with monistic and dualistic
systems, prompting a comparative analysis with the Italian framework. Through
historical exploration and data analysis, this paper aims to discern
similarities, differences, and potential implications for corporate
decision-making
