Concept of the Editorial Board Formation
The conception of the editorial board formation is based on several principles.
The first principle is the combination of academics and practitioners on the board. This will let the board be ready to process both conceptual and empirical papers and provide professional review of the problem discussed. Thus, the group of practitioners is represented by Stephen Davis, President, Davis Global Advisors, Inc. (USA), Alex Krakovsky, CEO, Ukraine Investment Advisors, Inc, Jonathan Bates, Director, Institutional Design (UK).
The second principle is a multinational representation on the board. We have world-wide known experts from 19 countries. This is a guarantee that corporate governance process will be considered through the prism of national specifics. We have those experts on the board who participated directly in developing corporate governance codes. These are S. Davis (USA), P. Tamowicz (Poland), J. Kim (Korea).
The third principle is the representation of experts from both developed and developing countries. This will let the board be ready to consider the latest changes in the corporate governance process happening in both developed and developing countries.
The fourth principle is the representation of experts with expertise in various field of corporate governance. We have experts in the following major fields of corporate governance:
