SYMPOSIUM ABSTRACT
The aim of the symposium is to inspect the dynamics of the
relationships between corporate governance and strategic management
from a variety of viewpoints and in different contexts (North
American, European and Asian). We investigate the relationships
between the strategic function and the governance function by from
various germane conceptual perspectives, such as multiple agency, the
information-based signaling theory, decision making processes and
contingency theory and of real world experiences, such as firms in
transition, IPOs and IPO ventures.
Key research questions include: What is the nature of the relationship
between corporate governance and strategic management? Is governance
more important to firms of strategic management? Why are there
good/bad theories and good/bad practices in corporate governance and
strategy? What are the rudiments of the decision making processes in
the governance of different contexts? What are the differences between
the US, European and Japanese contexts in relation to governance
systems? What are the governance logics and mechanism of firms in
transition? What kinds of conflicts can arise as regards the
underpricing in IPO firms? How a multiple agency approach can respond
to this challenge? What is the role of anti take-over provisions in
the acquisition of IPO ventures? What is the role of signaling and
information theory the acquisition of IPO ventures?
Key words: Corporate Governance, Strategic Management, Different Context
