Special Issue on Corporate Governance, Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility

RATIONALE

As the global economic scenario heads towards a slowdown, the moral worth of business actions comes to the forefront. It is in such a scenario that special focus has to be on various facets of corporate governance, business ethics and corporate social responsibility. Technically, it is possible to demarcate these concepts, but they share long and overlapping interfaces as well. With mounting pressure on the business, the issues of sustainability, accountability and transparency need to be addressed and it is heartening that these issues have caught the attention of the academia and the industry. A significant amount of research work is being done on these issues in various institutions of higher learning. With the objective of bringing various ideas on corporate governance, business ethics and corporate social responsibility on one platform, we invite original empirical articles from the academia, researchers, scholars and practitioners for a special issue of Prabandhan: Indian Journal of Management.

We welcome papers that are sensitive to the possible emergence of new practices in these disciplines. We particularly encourage submissions that explore the practices of concepts, practices and the consequences of corporate governance, business ethics and corporate social responsibility on the stakeholders at large. Analyzing the inter-relationships between these concepts, contributing to the pool of thoughts in these topics and providing insights to the researchers shall be the prime objectives of the special issue. While the broad focus remains on corporate governance, some of the areas under the discipline are outlined herein for your reference:

• Corporate governance in emerging economies.
