Doktorsavhandling: Socialt kapital minskar opportunismen i styrelser och förbättrar bolagsstyrningen
Ny forskning hävdar att socialt kapital, mätt i medborgerliga normer och förekomsten av nätverk, minskar styrelsers tendenser att dölja dåliga nyheter. Det leder till redovisningskonservatism, som är en redovisningsmetod där man öppet tillkännager sämre resultat och högre förluster. Socialt kapital har även positiv effekt på könsmångfalden i styrelser och bolagsledningar.Published onThu, 06/25/2020 - 12:46- The growing importance of ESG data for financial decision making and for achieving sustainability goals was the topic of a webinar hosted by Hanken School of Economics on 11.6.2020.
