Cambridge University Press.), organisational theory (Cyert & March, 1963), and stewardship theory (Donaldson and Davis, Australian Journal of Management 16:49–64, 1991) are still highly relevant to the study of financial institutionsFinancial institutions and markets. Also debates regarding the efficacy of various corporate governanceCorporate governance structures including optimal boardBoard structures and composition as well as the degree of power given to senior managers remain unsettled and ongoing. Furthermore, they have taken new forms with the emergence of the stakeholder model of governance and the increasing importance of corporate social responsibilityCorporate social responsibility (CSRCSR (corporate social responsibility)), ESG (environment, social and governance) and innovative technologies.
