Abstract

In this paper, the convergence in research of the terms Corporate Governance, Financial Performance and Social Responsibility has been studied. To this end, we have reviewed the literature published between 1998 and 2017 and analyzed a total of 350 articles dealing with these issues, either individually or in combination. Thus, a bibliometric and co‐citation analysis has been carried out. This research has demonstrated the importance of the Stakeholder theory to reach the organization's commitment to achieving good financial results, which is considered the key to maintaining social responsibility policies over time. The emerging trends detected focus on board diversity as well as corporate reputation along with the company's financial performance. Also new topics that are raising interest among researchers are women, China, information disclosure or gender.
