SIG 02: Corporate Governance (COGO)

The corporate governance SIG welcomes studies exploring all aspects of antecedents and consequences – of corporate governance and boards of directors. Contributions adopting a wide set of theoretical lenses and research methods are strongly encouraged as well as studies analysing corporate governance in different types of enterprises and institutional contexts, including different countries and regional cultures.

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, 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.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):
Goal 1: No poverty, Goal 2: Zero hunger, Goal 4: Quality education, Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth, Goal 10: Reducing inequalities, Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE SIG STANDING TRACKS

ST01_01/ST02_01 – Rethinking the Responsible Corporation: Bridging Management, Law & Purpose (B4S & CoGo SIGs)

(co-sponsored by Business for Society SIG-01 and Corporate Governance SIG-02)

With this track, we 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; recent institutional developments in sustainable finance or in corporate law, such as purpose-driven corporations; alternative and emerging forms of business organizations; and historical as well as recent cases like Danone and Unilever.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):

Goal 4: Quality education, Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth, Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, Goal 10: Reducing inequalities, Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production

ST02_02 – Board of Directors and Top Management Teams

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.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):
Goal 5: Gender equality

ST02_03 – Corporate Governance and Diversity

Diversity is gaining momentum. Seeing women nominated to most important jobs and top CEOs of the largest companies, the European Parliament’s directive to increase gender diversity on boards, the Metoo movement among others are requesting researchers are to advocate to understand how to enhance diversity in broader scope in the firms. Gender diversity on boards could serve as a snowball for other types of diversity (age, culture, cognitive, behavioral, etc) giving the platform for more innovative and out of the box solutions for overcoming the future competitive and organizational challenges. We are interested in understanding the mechanisms of diverse boards.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE SIG TRACKS

T02_04 – Corporate Governance, Sustainability and the Purpose of Corporations

Concepts like ESG, eco-innovation, environmental litigation risk, CSR, climate change, and social and environmental impacts have become top priority issues on the agendas of boards of directors, executive committees, and investors. However, literature on the role of the composition of the board, director’ skills and attributes, institutional investors or able managers in promoting sustainable policies or enhancing environmental and social performance is heterogeneous, lacks substantial empirical evidence as well as sound conceptual underpinnings.  We invite theoretical and/or methodological contributions that develop a critical and/or multidisciplinary analysis of the role of corporate governance on sustainable firm strategies.

UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):

Goal 5: Gender equality, Goal 16: Peace, justice and strong institutions, Goal 17: Partnerships for the goals

T02_05 / T13_11 – Post-covid governance of HEI: have management and business schools reached a “new normal” ?

Despite the description of “new normal”, several management and business schools are switching back towards the traditional face-to-face course offerings, excluding online and blended options for students. This track proposes an exploration to understand how they take advantage of the efforts to transform digitally their offering during the critical period of the covid-19 pandemic, or if they prefer to bounce back by considering that they faced a crisis situation and can now go back to the previous new normal. Are management and business schools afraid to embed the digital switch in their educational model?
