Digitalization and Corporate Governance

Programme Meeting 1

  • 21 June 2022

This meeting is now closed for registration.

A summary of the discussion will be provided here after the event.

The Digitalization and Corporate Governance Project is part of the Good Governance Research Forum.


Everyone is welcome as we initiate this important research effort.

Digitization creates a variety of benefits for organizations and has transformed business functions and processes. Despite the benefits and opportunities and the significant increase in up-take in recent years, not enough is known about digitization as a mechanism for good corporate governance.

 

This research programme showcases digitization as mechanism for corporate governance. 

 

Through global collaboration we will draw out best practice and produce research reports to assist policy makers, leaders and organizations in understanding and practicing good corporate governance in a changing digital landscape. We will explore how digitization transforms corporate governance, the challenges to digitalization as mechanism for corporate governance, analyse best practices and solutions, and make recommendations.
