Equipped with the power of the internet, recent social movements have become more global in character. The rising power, reach, and prominence of large corporations have made them a common target of GSMs that aim to influence societal and corporate values. Executives and boards face increasing pressures to make corporate decisions considering the demands emerging from different GSMs. This special issue uncovers how and why some social movements weigh heavier in corporate decision-making. It also shares the implications of GSMs for corporate governance actors and processes in different institutional contexts. It provides useful insights into how GSMs engage with corporations and corporate actors and assess their impact on the governance of the firm in different countries.
