GT 02_00 Corporate Governance General Track
This is a general corporate governance track within the Corporate Governance SIG, which invites contributions from all areas related to corporate governance that are not explicitly covered by other tracks within the SIG. We welcome studies examining the antecedents and processes of governance as well as its consequences, for example, studies examining ownership structures, corporate social responsibility, international corporate governance, external corporate governance and the role of capital markets. We encourage paper submissions drawing from diverse theoretical lenses, using different research methods, and studying corporate governance in various countries.

ST01_01/ST02_01 – Rethinking the Responsible Corporation: Bridging Management, Law & Governance
(co-sponsored by Business for Society SIG-01 and Corporate Governance SIG-02)
With this track, we aim to develop new perspectives on the responsible corporation. We focus both on corporate governance and on institutional or legal frameworks that enable corporations to better manage sustainability-related matters and responsible innovation. We encourage contributions that further our understanding of responsible corporations from various angles: theoretical or comparative approaches to corporate governance; hybrid organizations or alternative forms of business organizations; historical as well as recent cases like Danone and Unilever; and recent institutional developments in sustainable finance or in corporate law, such as purpose-driven corporations.

ST02_02 – Board of Directors, Top Management Teams and Diversity
Upper echelons, boards of directors and top management teams (TMTs) are among the most influential actors at firms and society. Despite the large amount of existing research, results are mixed or inconclusive. Understanding the role of board effectiveness, individual executives (CEOs) and top management teams (TMTs), presents an important avenue for research. This topic seeks to (a) understand what makes boards and TMTs effective; (b) to examine the relationships between board, TMT, structures, processes and effectiveness; (c) to build a platform for discussion of issues related to different aspects of upper echelons at micro and macro levels.

ST02_04/ST08_02 – Sport Governance
(co-sponsored by Corporate Governance SIG-02 and Managing Sport SIG-08)
For the last two decades, sport governance has developed into a considerable field of research, and has raised interest of many researchers and practitioners worldwide, advancing knowledge and best practices in sport organisations. Sport Governance is understood as the exercise of power within sport organisations or (inter)national sport systems which provides the structure through which these organisations or systems are controlled, directed and regulated. We invite empirical and theoretical contributions that develop a critical analysis of sport governance and/or practical application of good governance principles using a range of different theoretical and methodological approaches.

T02_05 – Rethinking corporate governance: incorporating values, foresight and corporate responsibility into board
Our collective obsession with techno-optimisation, relentless pursuit of productivity and seduction by material gains, has put us on a quest for unsustainable growth. Insatiable appetites of developed economies lead to global capitalism threatening ecosystem survivability. To rethink corporate governance is to assume responsibility for examining fundamentals of business, as human-established institutions to this point has evolved of their own accord. With this proposed topic, we hope to engage in theoretical and practical discussions on reconfiguring corporate governance with consideration to values, morality, foresight, and corporate responsibility for Board stewardship of sustainable futures that fulfill promises and obligations to next generations.
