The concept of corporate governance
Keywords:
Corporate governance; Theory.Abstract
This article aimed to identify the different concepts of corporate governance, in this sense, the first section presents a review of the literature based on the Methodi Ordinatio in relation to the concept of corporate governance (CG), followed by the revision of the theories from which it is studied: Theory of the agency; the shareholder or stockholder theory; the resource dependency theory; Stakeholder theory; the theory of Stewardship or Management Theory, the approach based on knowledge and corporate governance and the performance of the company, finally, the conclusion of the study in which it stands out that the objective of CG theories is not to study how managers govern - that would lead us to confuse the term governance with administration - but rather how it isReferences
