Their distinctive traits are due, at least in part, to the influence of Sharia law and the region's varied political regimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of these distinctive corporate governance traits include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The predominance of family and state ownership<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A slower movement towards privatization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dual-board structures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Constrained access to financing opportunities, which stems, at least in part, to a lack of adequate investors' protections and high levels of corruption in several countries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limited engagement with typical Western corporate social responsibility practices. Due to the influence of Sharia law, corporate social responsibility practices usually revolve around philanthropic activities and their disclosure is extremely low<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Future Opportunities for Corporate Governance in the MENA Region<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the region looks to the future, researchers point to several areas for growth and development for the corporate governance of local companies. For instance, companies in the region would benefit from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>More gender diverse corporate boards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased standardization of disclosure regulations across countries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Greater emphasis on corporate social responsibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More variety of ownership models beyond family and state ownership<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Original Article<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Farah, B., Elias, R., Aguilera, R., &amp; Abi Saad, E. 2021. <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/corg.12377?casa_token=hNk_aJ_G6BsAAAAA:9FWep3TQThYj52K0dnWZlBxm7WpeXG1VoBOSVpdd6w7LaoK8aVz-vO_OhLBkr16WhzqfyInGMcYnDJdh\">Corporate governance in the Middle East and North Africa: A systematic review of current trends and opportunities for future research.<\/a>&nbsp;Corporate Governance: An International Review,&nbsp;29(6): 630-660.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> If you are interested in learning more about this work, contact Professor Aguilera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"legacy-content-cards-block line three-column wp-block-dmsb-person\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"legacy-content-card-items row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"post-545\"\n\tclass=\"person-line column \"\n\titemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"person-line-left\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"person-line-thumbnail\" itemprop=\"image\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"person-line-thumbnail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/damore-mckim.northeastern.edu\/cem\/people\/ruth-v-aguilera\/\" aria-label=\"View profile of Ruth V.
