Editorial: Multilevel analysis of corporate governance and leadership

Abstract

The articles included in this volume of the journal discuss a broad variety of topics, including accrual and real earnings management, board of directors’ characteristics, mandatory disclosure of non-financial information, digital transformation strategies of firm leaders, post-adoption effect of alternative performance measures’ guidelines, corporate controlling system expectations, quality of governance frameworks and practices, strategic dividend decisions, network governance, and compliance management. All these aspects continue to make headlines in the popular press and remain topical in the extant corporate governance literature (Bodolica, Dupuis, & Spraggon, 2019).
