Analyses, visualizations, applications, and businesses could be created using this pool of data. The idea of Open Government Data (OGD) more...

Network of Corporate Governance Institutes in Latin America: Bonding over Common Objectives while Meeting Local Needs

This is the story of a group of corporate governance institutes in Latin America that realized that there is strength—and leverage—in numbers.
