Mission and Scope

Corporate Governance SIG has as its purpose the advancement of research and practice of corporate governance to improve the functioning of firms and markets. Towards this end, this SIG welcomes work that examines any aspect of the internal and external governance of firms, including scholarship that explores how the formulation, pursuit, and attainment of economic and social goals is affected by the interplay of corporate governance and the executive leadership, the stakeholders, the strategy, and the institutional context of companies.

To spur the imagination and start interesting, new conversations, our SIG is dedicated to bringing together scholars and papers reflecting diverse research traditions. In this context, the SIG welcomes all potentially fruitful contributions regardless of the theoretical lens and the method of research used. Moreover, the SIG invites studies that investigate corporate governance in different types of enterprises and different contexts, including different countries and regional cultures.

History

The Corporate Governance SIG has been a regular feature at EURAM since 2002. From 2005 onwards, the SIG developed in collaboration with the European Corporate Governance Group (ECGG) whose main aim is to support and develop a European management-related corporate governance community.

Every year, the SIG organizes pre-conference and social activities. These furnish an excellent setting for catching up with old friends and making new ones.
