CfP: Chief Executive Officers With A Cause?

Journal: Corporate Governance: An International Review Special Issue on “Chief Executive Officers With A Cause? CEO Activism And Firms’ Governance, Strategy, And Performance”

The objective of this special issue is to advance our understanding of CEO activism and its antecedents and consequences. We therefore invite papers that examine the theoretical domain and measurement of CEO activism, the factors at the individual, board, company, and industry levels that affect the substance and style of CEO activism, and the effects of CEO activism on the governance and strategies of firms and the pursuit and attainment of financial and social goals. We invite theory building and theory testing papers and we are open to the use of any theoretical lens and methodological approach.
