A Corporate Governance Perspective of Corporate Sustainability

This research agenda includes multiple projects investigating how and through what mechanisms corporate governance structures, processes, and practices shape social and environmental sustainability outcomes for firms across international institutional contexts.

D-CORE: Dark Side of Corporate Responsibility.

Funded by the Carlsberg Semper Ardens Grant, this research project studies content moderation work within platform companies, its toll on digital workers, and associated governance challenges. Through this research, I aim to inform human‑centered governance strategies for platform‑based organizations.

The Antecedents of Corporate Social Irresponsibility

Focusing on top management and board of directors, this research stream aims to uncover motivational triggers of different kinds of irresponsible corporate behaviors in large multinational companies.

I research, teach and advise how firms can become responsible global citizens.

I am an expert on corporate governance and how and through what mechanisms it affects responsible and irresponsible firm behaviors including CSR, ESG, stakeholder management and mismanagement. I have published over 25 research papers and book chapters in high impact peer-reviewed Journals and Academic Presses such as the Journal of Management, Journal of World Business, Global Strategy Journal, Journal of Business Ethics, British Journal of Management, Business & Society, Journal of Management Inquiry, Corporate Governance – An International Review, California Management Review, and MIT Sloan Management Review, Oxford University Press, Emerald, SAGE, Edward Elgar Publishing, and Research in the Sociology of Organizations.
