Abstract
The articles included in this volume of the journal discuss a broad variety of topics, including accrual and real earnings management, board of directors’ characteristics, mandatory disclosure of non-financial information, digital transformation strategies of firm leaders, post-adoption effect of alternative performance measures’ guidelines, corporate controlling system expectations, quality of governance frameworks and practices, strategic dividend decisions, network governance, and compliance management. All these aspects continue to make headlines in the popular press and remain topical in the extant corporate governance literature (Bodolica, Dupuis, & Spraggon, 2019).
Highlights
It is my pleasure to write this editorial for the volume 17, issue 1 of the 2019 edition of Corporate Ownership and Control
The examined organizational settings vary greatly from small and mediumsized enterprises and family firms to large state-owned companies and publicly-held corporations. These efforts are well inscribed in prior studies in the field that suggest that the successful adoption of corporate governance policies hinges upon their compatibility and alignment with the prevailing institutional and cultural peculiarities of the context in which they are embedded (Bodolica & Spraggon, 2009a)
In spite of their wide topical heterogeneity, all the included articles tackle a multitude of aspects of relevance to the corporate governance and leadership domain that can be clustered on the basis of their predominant level of analysis, the macro, meso, and micro levels
Summary
It is my pleasure to write this editorial for the volume 17, issue 1 of the 2019 edition of Corporate Ownership and Control. Worth noting is the authors’ close attention to the contextualization of their research efforts to account for the specificities of national and legal frameworks in both the developed regions of the world (i.e., Italy, Canada, the United States, and European Union) and emerging economies (i.e., Egypt, Libya, Ghana, and Gulf Cooperation Council).
