Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the modern corporate environment, the convergence of emerging technology, corporate governance disclosure and corporate social responsibility (CSR) is significantly transforming organizational practices and stakeholder engagement. Technological advancements, especially in information and communication technologies (ICTs), are revolutionizing the way in which companies disclose governance and CSR activities, thereby enhancing transparency and accountability. These technologies enable real-time, accessible and comprehensive disclosure, providing stakeholders with crucial information for informed decision-making.
Corporate governance disclosure, traditionally confined to annual reports, has evolved through digital platforms, facilitating more dynamic and interactive communication. This transformation enhances the quality and timeliness of disclosures, meeting the increasing stakeholder demand for greater transparency in corporate practices. Similarly, CSR initiatives are utilizing technological tools to measure, report and communicate social and environmental impacts. Technologies such as blockchain and big data analytics offer robust mechanisms for tracking CSR activities, thereby ensuring accuracy and accountability.
This Special Issue aims to compile and disseminate pioneering theoretical and empirical research on the interplay between technology, corporate governance disclosure and corporate social responsibility (CSR). We are particularly interested in studies examining the impact of emerging technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, blockchain, machine learning, big data, decentralized finance, etc.) on corporate governance disclosure and CSR, as well as those exploring the interrelationship between corporate governance disclosure and CSR.
