Issues of governance, responsibility and accountability are becoming increasingly important as the world, simultaneously, becomes dominated by corporations, interconnected via forces of globalisation and transparent through heightened media attention and the rise in internet-led democracy. Companies, and in particular leaders of business, can no longer hide from their responsibilities to wider stakeholder community by claims of ignorance of corporate malpractices and of failure. Boards of directors are being increasingly made responsible for both the successes and failures of their companies, as well as their own conduct and behaviours.
Actions of business have increasingly become a concern not just for shareholders but also for the wider community at large. Business governance is no longer just about running the company as efficiently as possible in narrow cost and profit terms but about managing the wider responsibilities. This means that company directors need to move beyond narrow corporate governance concerns that simply deal with their functional roles and responsibilities, their salaries and succession strategies and legal requirements, towards examining and understanding how their personal values, behaviours, and actions affect the organisations they lead, the employees they lead, and how in turn these affect the local and global communities within which they are embedded. IJBGE provides a highly professional forum to address these issues.
 Objectives
IJBGE aims to critically explore business and managerial strategies, actions, responsibilities and accountabilities for survival in a highly transparent and dynamic global world. Readership
Professionals, academics, researchers, and managers . Contents
IJBGE publishes high quality papers from a wide variety of disciplinary orientations on the general subject of business governance and ethics. The journal style and dialogue will be inclusive and attempt to involve all those who are interested in issues of business governance and ethics: business leaders, managers, employees, stockholders, business regulators (government agencies, national and international), consumer groups, and academics.
The journal will publish theoretical (literature review based), empirical (work surveys and case studies) and critically reflective work (thought-leadership commentaries) describing and developing pertinent insights into the broad subject matter.
