This e-book focuses on corporate governance topics, which affect all firms and stakeholders. The policies and guidelines which govern a firm's practices have a direct impact on firm outcomes. The issue highlights many important topics such as board diversity, controlling shareholders, institutional ownership, and the impact of governance principles on performance. Overall, the research in this issue echoes much of the existing governance research which suggests that a "one size fits all" approach is not sufficient, but rather, continued research is warranted.
