There has also been a lot of research at the firm level in single countries. Researchers have examined a wide range of issues, but the general theme considers how governance structures or regulation affect the performance of firms and their strategic decisions. Another important area relates to ownership structure and how that affects a corporation. The listings below are categorized by general subject.
