Corporate governance encompasses the processes, policies, and institutions shaping how corporations are directed and controlled. Technology plays a dual role in this context, enhancing traditional governance systems while introducing novel challenges and risks. Corporate Governance Meets Data and Technology explores this intersection through three main themes: the impact of big data on information asymmetry, blockchain's potential to transform shareholder rights and ownership structures, and the implications of smart contracts for decentralized governance. These innovations empower stakeholders with new tools for effective governance but also raise concerns about complexity and inequalities.

As technology evolves, collaboration among researchers, policymakers, and practitioners becomes crucial to adapt corporate governance to the dynamic business landscape. Addressing these issues in-depth provides valuable insights into the future of governance in a technology-driven world, highlighting both opportunities for efficiency and transparency, and challenges related to security, fairness, and regulatory frameworks.
