“…In the dimension of governance, researchers have generated rich discussions on many detailed and specific governance indicators, among which the characteristics of the board of directors and audit supervision are the two most representative topics. Based on the resource‐dependent framework, the relationship between the digital transformation of an enterprise and the characteristics of the board of directors is a bidirectional and mutually influencing relationship (Oliveira et al, 2022). The popularity of digital technology helps the board of directors efficiently collect critical information from complex corporate data and establish reliable judgments (Farrokhi et al, 2020).…”

Digital transformation is globally pervasive, and exploring how it can shape enterprises' sustainable development is significant. Using the panel data of 710 listed corporates in China from 2011 to 2020, this paper empirically investigates the impact of digital transformation on corporate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance with the fixed effect model and the SYS‐GMM method. The results indicate that digital transformation significantly improves corporate ESG performance, especially environmental and social performance. A looser financing constraint (FC) environment will make the improvements in ESG performance from digital transformation more visible. Among corporates with low FCs, private corporates, and non‐technical corporates, digital transformation has a more noticeable effect on improving ESG performance by easing FCs. Our research presents implications for policymakers and business decision‐makers to achieve alignment between corporate digitalization and sustainability.

“…There are various means of taking this approach, including by co-creation (Mercadal-Delassalles, 2015, p. 31); "processing on the fly," by detailing the processes to be implemented to achieve the flexibility needed to meet the regulatory constraints of an organization and to offer customized services to its clients (Cichowlas, 2015, p. 44). Oliveira et al (2022) stated that directors could get closer relationships and contacts with stakeholders through digital technologies. Board of directors, in a perspective of Resource Dependence Theory (RDT), consider digital as a competitive advantage and organize the value creation and the strategy.…”

Purpose This paper aims to study the impact of the digital transformation on the role and governance of Information Technology departements. The study focuses on banks and insurance companies because they have been allocating significant resources to managing their digital transformation. Design/methodology/approach Inductive qualitative research of an exploratory type based on the Gioia method involved face-to-face interviews at the IT departments of seven financial sector companies in France. Axial encoding of the answers, recommended by Gioia, was used to classify the raw data and structure the analysis using a graphical presentation. Findings Four IT governance maturity situations were determined within the financial steering and performance analysis modes of digital transformation projects. This research aimed to enable companies to position their practices within the analysis framework defined through modelled maturity situations and to help them steer their digital transformation. Originality/value A panel was composed with most of the banks in France and some insurance companies. The link was done between Digital Maturity, and Digital and IT Governance, and with the use of the graphical qualitative research using the Gioia method.

“…Following these studies (Assenga et al, 2018;Badu and Appiah, 2017;Maswadi and Amran, 2023;Oliveira et al, 2022;Poletti-Hughes and Mart ınez Garcia, 2022;Pugliese et al, 2014;Wongsinhirun et al, 2023), we employ the agency theory and resource dependence theory to establish the association between board diversity and systematic risk. The integration of agency and resource dependency theories allows for a richer understanding of the relationship of board capital to monitoring and resource provision (Hillman and Dalziel, 2003).…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the association between board diversity and systematic risk. The theoretical framework used in this study is based on agency and resource dependency theories.Design/methodology/approach Using a panel data set of 788 firms listed in the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Emerging Markets index from 2015 to 2020, the authors apply Panel-Corrected Standard Error estimation method to test the three proposed hypotheses and the two-stage least squares method is adopted for the endogenous test.Findings The results suggest that board-specific skills diversity (BSSD) and board independence (BIND) have a negative impact on systematic risk. On the other hand, board gender diversity does not affect systematic risk. The findings reinforce the relevance of board diversity for reducing systematic risk and offer valuable insights for policymakers and investors, suggesting that the presence of directors with specific skills and independent directors could reduce firms’ systematic risk.Research limitations/implications The study extends the scope of agency and resource dependency theories by suggesting that the BSSD and BIND reduce agency costs and bring critical resources to the firm’s survival.Practical implications The findings support policymakers and managers in reducing systematic risk. In addition, the results demonstrate the importance of policies that encourage board diversity and BIND.Social implications The study demonstrates how companies can reduce systematic risk through board diversity and BIND.Originality/value To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the association between board diversity and systematic risk only in emerging markets.
