Review of the conference book Corporate governance: Theory and the best practices

Abstract

The genesis of the book Corporate Governance: Theory and the Best Practices can be traced back to the International Online Conference “Corporate Governance: Theory and the Best Practices”, held on June 4, 2026. The volume’s principal strength is the breadth and topicality of its coverage: board diversity and risk-taking, ESG-linked incentives, disclosure credibility, and, increasingly, the governance implications of AI are all represented by empirically grounded, theoretically explicit contributions, several of which offer genuinely original conceptual framing rather than incremental replication. The book is recommended for corporate governance scholars, board members, compliance and ESG practitioners, and doctoral students seeking a current, internationally comparative snapshot of where governance research is heading.
