Using a qualitative methodology (interviews), we examine the relationship between the effectiveness of corporate governance mechanisms and elitist interventions. In doing this, we identify three elitist groupspolitical, cultural and religious, and investigate how they shape the legitimacy and effectiveness (or otherwise) of the institutional drivers of corporate governance in Nigeria. Our discussions show the role of elites in influencing corporate governance outcomes in weak institutional environments. Further, we caution the widely-held notion in the literature which suggests that institutions act as a check on the behaviour of elites and influence how elites compete and emerge. Alternatively, we argue that the emergence of elites is not always linked to institutions. Rather, elites, in the presence of institutional voids, can invent, circumvent and corrupt institutions.

Examining the Link Between Religion and Corporate Governance: Insights From Nigeria

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper examines whether the degree of religiosity in an institutional environment can stimulate the emergence of a robust corporate governance system. This study utilises the Nigerian business environment as its context and embraces a qualitative interpretivist research approach. This approach permitted the engagement of a qualitative content analysis (QCA) methodology to generate insights from interviewees. Findings from the study indicate that despite the high religiosity among Nigerians, religion has not stimulated the desired corporate governance system in Nigeria. The primary explanation for this outcome is the presence of rational ordering over religious preferences thus highlighting the fact that religion, as presently understood and practised by stakeholders, is inconsistent with the principles underpinning good corporate governance.
