An Examination of Socially Responsible Firms' Board StructureJournal of Management and Governance - Tập 8 - Trang 255-277 - 2004
ELIZABETH Webb
This study investigates the structure of the board of directors at socially
responsible (SR) firms. Using a sample of 394 SR firms and comparing these to a
matched sample of firms, I find that SR firms have characteristics associated
with effective board structures. For instance, SR firms have more outsiders and
women directors, and less instance of CEO/Chairman duality than non-SR firms.

The Endogenous Construction of Accounting Discourses in a Trade UnionJournal of Management and Governance - Tập 3 - Trang 49-79 - 1999
Fabrizio Panozzo, Luca Zan
The exploration of accounting practices reported in this paper illustrates how
perceptions of financial problems and notions of economic accountability develop
within cultural and institutional environments that substantially differ from
those of the business firm. The paper seeks to oppose a notion of economic
determinism which, explicitly or implicitly, promotes the “ideal” identity
between mark... hiện toàn bộ
The management of participatory cultural initiatives: learning from the discourse on intellectual capitalJournal of Management and Governance - Tập 23 - Trang 435-458 - 2018
Martin Piber, Paola Demartini, Lucia Biondi
Based on previous research that highlights some gaps in the study of the new
phenomena of Participatory Cultural Initiatives (PCIs), this paper addresses the
need to understand how the relevance of those initiatives is perceived,
tentatively measured and communicated to strategic stakeholders. With this, we
want to investigate a possible contribution of the discourse on Intellectual
Capital (IC) a... hiện toàn bộ

Dorota Dobija, Karolina Puławska
This study examines the effect of the presence of foreign experts on a company’s
board on the important characteristic of high-quality financial reporting:
timeliness. We focus on experts with foreign experience (EFEs) who are board
members, in the context of a dual board model. The sample is drawn from the
population of Polish nonfinancial firms listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange
during 2010–201... hiện toàn bộ
Governance of open source software: state of the artJournal of Management and Governance - Tập 11 - Trang 165-177 - 2007
Paul B. de Laat
In this overview of governance mechanisms developed within open source software
(OSS) circles, three types of governance are studied: ‘spontaneous’ governance,
internal governance, and governance towards outside parties. Moreover, two main
ways in which lessons from OSS can be applied elsewhere are explored: peer
production of products other than software, and embedding ‘peer-produced’
products an... hiện toàn bộ

CEO selection in intergovernmental organizations: the clash between control and efficiency in governanceJournal of Management and Governance - Tập 27 Số 1 - Trang 155-180 - 2023
Ryan Federo, Àngel Saz-Carranza, Xavier Fernández‐i‐Marín, Carlos Losada
AbstractCEO selection is a crucial governance function influencing and driving
the strategic direction of organizations. Extant research has largely assumed
that boards are an efficient mechanism vested with the CEO selection function.
However, boards are not always delegated with this function. In some
organizations, the principals directly select the CEOs to keep effective control
over the organ... hiện toàn bộ
Does the board of directors affect cash holdings? A study of French listed firmsJournal of Management and Governance - Tập 19 - Trang 341-370 - 2013
Sabri Boubaker, Imen Derouiche, Duc Khuong Nguyen
Prior studies show that agency conflicts are important in explaining corporate
financial policies and that the board of directors is central to corporate
governance. In this study, we examine the role of this governing body in the
accumulation of cash reserves. Using a sample of 597 French listed firms during
2001–2007, we find that firms with boards deemed to be effective in mitigating
agency pro... hiện toàn bộ
