Abstract

Zusammenfassung Corporate Governance hat in der betriebswirtschaftlichen Forschung in den letzten beiden Dekaden kontinuierlich an Bedeutung gewonnen. Ungeachtet dessen wird die Corporate Governance-Forschung nach wie vor als weitestgehend unsystematischer, in viele Einzelthemen zerfallener Strang der betriebswirtschaftlichen Literatur wahrgenommen. Der vorliegende Beitrag analysiert empirisch die Entwicklung der betriebswirtschaftlichen Corporate Governance-Forschung im deutschsprachigen Raum. Als Datenbasis für eine Zitations-, Kozitations- und Clusteranalyse dienen 267 Corporate Governance-Beiträge mit mehr als 10.000 Zitationen. Die erhobenen Daten werden in sechs Cluster zur Darstellung der thematischen Schwerpunkte der betriebswirtschaftlichen Corporate Governance-Forschung unterteilt und als Kozitationsnetzwerk visuell dargestellt. Zudem wird die historische Entwicklung der betriebswirtschaftlichen Corporate Governance-Forschung herausgearbeitet, indem die 267 herangezogenen Corporate Governance-Beiträge den sechs Clustern unter Berucksichtigung des Publikationszeitpunktes zugeordnet werden.
