Abstract:

Corporate governance is one of the most important issues in the literature, with an increasing number of studies in the literature. In this study, after giving information about corporate governance, theories about corporate governance and related principles, a literature review on studies on corporate governance in domestic and foreign literature is presented. As a result of the scanning covering the studies in academic journals between 2000 and 2021, it was seen that a significant part of the studies within the scope of the research were done abroad. It has been observed that the number of publications dealing with corporate governance has increased, especially in studies published in Turkey in the last three years. Although the number of studies in foreign literature has decreased in some years, it is seen that the subject has been discussed more in the last ten years. It can be stated that the study contributes to the literature in terms of revealing the trend of the subject and number of studies in the domestic and foreign literature on corporate governance. However, the limitation of the study is that the studies in the domestic literature are selected only from the articles published in the national database, and the foreign studies are only selected from the articles published in an international database. In addition, due to the large number of studies on corporate governance in an international database, the scope of the study was limited to keywords.
