Chapters offer a timely opportunity to explore, revisit and critically examine new methodological insights and innovations in the corporate governance scholarship with the purpose of advancing diversity and novel theorising in this field. This Handbook presents an engaging, innovative and invaluable guide to researchers and higher education students in corporate governance and business management, along with scholars investigating research methods in the corporate governance field.

'Getting to research corporate boards has never been easy. This book opens the door for researchers to understand board dynamics, rules, structures and contexts from different methodological perspectives, advancing and refining the findings on corporate governance research.' -- Patricia Gabaldon Quinones, IE Business School, Spain 'The new Handbook of Research Methods for Corporate Governance is a remarkable, and extremely important, scholarly achievement. Taking their point of departure in the corporate governance field's urgent need for a more pluralistic and creative pallet of research methods, the editors bring together an impressive set of scholars who share their experiences and insights on how we can develop knowledge that is more theoretically rigorous and practically relevant for a new era. I highly recommend this amazing volume to all scholars and practitioners thirsty for understanding how we can best understand contemporary challenges in corporate governance.' -- Mattias Nordqvist, Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden 'This is an insightful and comprehensive collection of articles, which brings to the fore the richness of methods and methodological approaches in corporate governance research. In assembling the volume, the editors have moved beyond simplistic dichotomies of qualitative and quantitative research and stimulate the reader to think holistically and contextually about corporate governance research. This is a valuable resource for anyone interested in governance research.' -- Silk Machold, University of Wolverhampton, UK
