Editorial: New challenges in theory and practice of corporate governance

Abstract

Interest in corporate governance continues to increase, both inside and outside academia, together with recognition of its importance. Despite advances in research on corporate governance, many questions remain regarding good governance and factors contributing to good decision-making. The aim of international conference “New Challenges in Corporate Governance: Theory And Practice” is to move the field closer to a global theory by advancing our understanding of corporate governance, which combines insights from the literature on firm governance bundles with insights from the national governance systems literature, investigating new perspectives and challenges for corporate governance and outlining possible scenarios of its development. The conference calls for more attention to ESG factors and voluntary disclosure and calls to explore how good governance can help boards enhance their decision making and improve performance
