Abstract

This paper examines the interconnection among stakeholder engagement, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and corporate governance in Southeast Asia's evolving institutional environment, focusing on Malaysia. Drawing on institutional theory and stakeholder management schools of thought, this research develops a model that considers corporate governance as an evolving system. By employing a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative institutional surveys with quantitative performance indicators collected between 2019 and 2023, this research analyzes the complicated relationship between institutional frameworks, company performance, and stakeholder engagement. The findings demonstrate that effective governance hinges on an adaptive equilibrium between formal systems and informal cultural values, enabled by real-time feedback mechanisms. Three key contributions emerge: (1) a dynamic stakeholder engagement model, (2) a holistic performance reporting framework, and (3) cybernetic governance principles for societal and technological challenges. Placing Southeast Asian contexts within the shareholder activism research matrix, this research fills significant theory gaps and offers practical lessons for corporations, policymakers, and civil society organizations to enhance corporate governance practice in the region.
