De Gruyter Studies in Corporate Governance
edited by Professor Jill Atkins, Sheffield University Management School De Gruyter Studies in Corporate Governance is a new, original and timely series of research monographs that will explore important and emergent issues in corporate governance across the world in both developed and developing economies.

• Address corporate governance effectiveness within a wide range of sectors including listed companies, the public sector, the charity and voluntary sectors.
• Draw together research from a wide variety of methodological approaches, including quantitative and positivist research as well as qualitative research including interviewing, case studies and surveys.
• Provide coverage of social, environmental and sustainability issues in governance practice, integrating growing risks relating to climate change and ecology into corporate governance analyses.
• Explore corporate governance issues through a variety of theoretical lenses including: resource dependency theory, agency theory, stakeholder theoretic perspectives and sociological paradigms such as theories of risk and social science theories.
• Address corporate governance in an interdisciplinary manner, bringing together factors and influences from finance, management, sociology and other relevant disciplinary traditions.
