Mission and Scope

The Corporate Governance SIG aims to advance research and practice in corporate governance to improve the functioning of firms and markets. To this end, the SIG welcomes research examining all aspects of the internal and external governance of firms, including scholarship exploring how the formulation, pursuit, and attainment of economic and social goals are shaped by the interplay between corporate governance and executive leadership, stakeholders, strategy, and the institutional contexts in which firms operate.

To spur new ideas and foster engaging conversations, the SIG is committed to bringing together scholars and research representing diverse traditions and perspectives. Accordingly, we welcome potentially fruitful contributions regardless of the theoretical lens or research method employed. We also encourage studies examining corporate governance across different types of enterprises and institutional contexts, including research spanning countries, regions, and cultures.

History

The Corporate Governance SIG has been a regular feature of EURAM since 2002. Since 2005, the SIG has developed in collaboration with the European Corporate Governance Group (ECGG), whose primary aim is to support and strengthen a European community of management scholars with an interest in corporate governance.

Each year, the SIG organizes pre-conference and social activities, providing an excellent setting for reconnecting with colleagues, exchanging ideas, and building new relationships.
