18779: Research Opportunities on Corporate Governance in India

Corporate governance research has made giant strides over the past few decades. Interestingly, the unique Indian context provides a fertile breeding ground for corporate governance research to expand its theoretical richness, depth, and relevance. In this Professional Development Workshop (PDW), we intend to broadly introduce corporate governance theory and practice with a special focus on the Indian context and then draw attention to emerging opportunities in corporate governance research. Specifically, we have an esteemed panel who shall present their research in this area on topics such as [1] The effects of Public sector organizations, Business Groups, and Family-owned businesses on Corporate Governance processes in India; [2] The Effectiveness of Corporate Governance in India ; [3] A study on the interplay between the Jugaad culture and the Regulatory framework in India's private business schools from 1991 to 2020; [4] Corporate human rights responsibility and multinationality in emerging markets; [5] Empirical Challenges and Opportunities in Governance research in India in the presence of market impediments; then narrowing the focus on the intersection of entrepreneurship and corporate governance by presenting research on topics such: [1] exploring the relationship between academic entrepreneurs and promoters of private higher education institutions in India; [2] exploring the neurological and emotional drivers that predict congruence among Investors/Directors and Entrepreneurs in Small Firms. Thus, PDW should familiarize participants with the latest research and provide them with interdisciplinary perspectives on corporate governance in India and entrepreneurship, international business, and other related areas.
