Abstract

Corporate governance today is undergoing a profound metamorphosis, driven by unprecedented technological advancements, intensifying sustainability imperatives, and the reconfiguration of institutional boundaries. The traditional paradigms — anchored in hierarchical control, agency theory, and shareholder value maximization — are proving insufficient to address the increasing complexity and pluralism of contemporary organizational environments. In their place, emergent governance models are privileging resilience, inclusivity, and ethical orientation. The twenty-three contributions assembled in the proceedings titled Corporate Governance: Scholarly Research and Practice form a coherent and multidimensional exploration of these transitions. Together, they reflect the ongoing redefinition of governance not merely as a structural or procedural domain but as a dynamic, context-sensitive capability essential for long-term organizational legitimacy and societal value creation.
