Corporate governance research in the context of emerging economies has received increasing attention in recent years. Since the extent and nature of governance problems in developed and emerging economies are different, so are the firm-level governance solutions that aim to minimize the costs of governance-related efficiency losses. For this Special Issue of Corporate Governance: An International Review, we invite submissions with a focus on the complex interface between firm-level governance mechanisms in emerging economies, their legal, economic and political institutions, and various organizational outcomes, including business strategy and performance. The Special Issue welcomes both theoretical and empirical papers. Specific topics on corporate governance challenges in emerging economies include, but are not limited to:
Comparisons between emerging and developed economies
The role of institutions and national business systems in corporate governance
Convergence towards best practices versus path-dependence
Complementarities and substitution among governance mechanisms at different levels
Regulatory framework, market development and investor protection
Ownership and control structures and their dynamic evolution
Institutional voids and governance in business groups
The family-centric governance model and its organizational effects
The governance of financial institutions and institutional investors
The governance implications of corruption and bribery
The role of political connections and relational contracting in governance
The governance roles of reputation and culture
The integrity of executives, responsible leadership and business ethics
State corporatism and the role of the state as a shareholder
Law, regulation and enforcement
Authors are asked to submit a full article on or before September 15, 2015 to the journal's website (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cgir). Full papers must be 10,000 words or less in length and follow the CGIR editorial guidelines. The journal's website (www.cgir.org) provides more information on the submission process.
The papers will be screened initially by the Guest Editors. The short-listed papers will go through the CGIR's regular double-blind review process according to standard journal policy.
The first round of reviews will be followed by a paper development conference that will be held at the University of Edinburgh Business School and sponsored by the Accounting and Finance Group at December 4-5, 2015 (http://edinburghforum.weebly.com). Authors of papers that are accepted for presentation at the conference will be invited to send one author to present their paper. Participation in the conference is recommended, but no requirement for inclusion in the Special Issue. The aim of the conference is to facilitate and help the development of papers. Acceptance to the conference does not guarantee acceptance into the Special Issue. There will be no registration fee. Conference materials, as well as meals and refreshments will be provided free of charge, but conference participants will be responsible for making their own travel and accommodation arrangements.
