Abstract

Corporate governance deals with holding the balance between economic and social goals and between individuals and company goals. The corporate governance framework is there to promote the efficient use of resources and accountability for the stewardship of these resources. Its aim is to align as nearly as possible to the interest of individuals, corporations and society.

We map the intellectual structure of corporate governance research and its evolution from 1985–2015. The following article is conducted on corporate governance. The author, by using bibliometric analyses on the representative data set (bibliographic records concerning scientific articles) taken from the global bibliographic database Business Source Complete (powered by EBSCOhost), reveals which countries and continents are characterized with the greatest and most valued achievements of scientific research over corporate governance. Firstly, the evolution of theoretical models of corporate governance is presented, which shows how wide and polymorphic research area the analyzed conception is. Furthermore, the basis of bibliometric analyses, which the author uses to realize the goal of the article, is outlined. The review of previously conducted bibliometric analyses of corporate governance has been also presented, and the lack of these concentrating on national and continental aspects is stressed. Then, the procedure of undertaken researches, according to which the author has carried out adequate analyses.
