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 & Purpose (co-sponsored by Business for Society SIG-01 and Corporate Governance SIG-02)
This track aims at developing new perspectives between law & management studies in order to facilitate the rethinking of the legal constitution and governance of corporations. There is a growing awareness of the necessity to revise the principles of corporate governance, particularly in relation to innovations that aim to strengthen progress toward responsible and sustainable management practices. This track seeks to identify such innovations and support their implementation by examining current management and legal theories of the corporation, alternative and emergent forms of corporations, and new avenues in law & management to enable governance designs fostering responsible business and innovation.

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.

ST02_03 - Corporate Governance and Diversity
Diversity is gaining momentum. Seeing women nominated to Brussels' most important jobs and top CEOs of the largest global companies, the researchers of now are requested to advocate to enhance diversity in broader scope in the firms ensuing more substantial than symbolic change. Gender diversity on boards could serve as a snowball for other types of diversity giving the platform for more innovative and out of the box solutions for overcoming the future challenges in the ESG areas. We are interested in understanding the mechanisms of diverse boards and top management teams from a multidisciplinary point of view, combining theoretical and methodological perspectives.

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 - The Influence of Board of Directors in Shaping Sustainable Futures in a Dynamic Environment
This topic seeks to examine the influence of board of directors’ values, intellectual capabilities and foresight to shape the future of their organizations and society, including progress toward achievement of sustainable development goals. In today’s dynamic environment, global issues such as climate change, social inequality and resource depletion continue to challenge humanity and the planet’s sustainability. Questions remain as to whether human values – underpinnings of progress for millennia – have lost their way; and whether leaders of institutions, organizations and enterprises have the intellectual capacity for strategic foresight to deliver promising futures for next generations.
