The Journal of Management & Organization (JMO) seeks to publish academically rigorous papers that will advance knowledge on practical and theoretical aspects of management and the links between them. This special issue of JMO aims to contribute to and widen the understanding of the research process and practice of corporate governance, and its practical application in today's organizations, whether for-profit, non-profit, governmental or others.

Research in corporate governance has conventionally been dominated by empirical work based upon agency theory, stakeholder theory and their variants. The regulatory approach to governance has also been subject to substantial attention. More recently though, organization studies have seen a marked 'practice turn' and this has flowed through into work on governance that is concerned with developing a deeper understanding of the process of decision-making by directors. Moreover, the emergence of broader comparative studies that may counter the trend towards the Americanization of governance are beginning to emerge.

The editors encourage empirical contributions from across the widespread governance spectrum, and we are particularly keen to see work that focuses on practice or process oriented views. In addition, theoretical contributions are most welcome, especially those that bring a novel or critical approach to our understanding of this complex organizational issue. We believe there is a significant body of work emerging that might challenge traditional governance theorems, specifically in the area of small/mid-size/family-operated firms, where independent directors play a special role. This initiative is consistent with the 'Directions - Understanding Governance' effort which aims to foster authoritative work in governance from leading researchers around the world - see www.directionsgovernance.com.
