Abstract

This article examines the evolving paradigm of corporate governance with a focus on holistic approaches that challenge the traditional shareholder primacy model. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the study synthesizes data from global corporations to unravel how integrated governance models enhance sustainability and stakeholder value. The findings reveal a pronounced shift towards inclusive governance structures that prioritize long-term resilience and ethical considerations. This study underscores the necessity for regulatory frameworks to adapt to these paradigm shifts, promoting a broader understanding of corporate responsibility.
