Special issues, working paper series, technical notes, business cases as well as academic articles are all examples of materials this community could assemble.

Early-stage Scholars
Community Mission
Our mission is to create a focused and thriving community of early-stage scholars interested in research and teaching various facets of corporate governance across all disciplines. The community would strive to create a network of corporate governance scholars who can support and help each other in both research and teaching. Members of this community are expected to share their nascent research ideas and provide constructive and developmental feedback to each other. Members are also expected to be willing and eager to share (innovative) teaching methods, materials, and resources, such as case studies and syllabi, on corporate governance topics that interest them and are relevant to the larger corporate governance community. We also plan to involve late-stage ICGS scholars who can provide mentorship and guidance to the young scholars throughout their career trajectory and within the broader ICGS community.
Target Members
An early-stage scholar (i.e., ABD Ph.D., Post-hoc, Assistant Prof or equivalent) with interest in researching and/or teaching corporate governance.
Yearly Activities Proposed
-
Drinks/dinner on Friday (if no other official conference activities are planned)
-
possibly a session on Sunday at the conference, for this year we could discuss tips and tricks about designing a syllabus
-
possibly starting following up with 1-2 webinar per year (March/July) about teaching or sharing/presenting (early stage) research ideas.
Community Mission
The mission of the Diversity and Inclusion group is to gather scholars and practitioners interested in the variety of aspects around diversity, and inclusion on board and (senior) management positions. This line of work includes those interested on gender, age, or racial diversity to those interested on more deep level diversity, such as those related to tenure, experience, or values, among others, as well as the integration and inclusion of those members on boards. The community aims to create a strong network of academics, PhD students and practitioners that can help each other in terms of research, teaching, and best managerial practices.
Target Members
Someone interested in doing research or teaching on diversity and inclusion on board (management) positions
Yearly Activities Proposed
-
Drinks/dinner one evening during the ICGS conference
-
A session at the conference combining academics and practitioners on diversity and inclusion research and practices
-
If proposed and supported by the members, a webinar or two during the year, to discuss latest research on the field
