Abstract [sv]

Trenden att använda styrelser som styrform inom och mellan offentliga organisationer utgör nya utmaningar för de folkvalda politiker som ofta innehar uppdragen som styrelseledamöter. De träder nu in i styrelserum och leder offentligt ägda bolag som verkar enligt en marknadsbaserad logik. I den här litteraturstudien granskar vi forskning om bolagsstyrning för att utröna vilka nya roller detta kan medföra. Tre styrelseroller diskuteras: övervakare, mentorer och länkare till externa resurser. Vi granskar även vilka metoder forskare använt för att studera bolagsstyrning och finner en påtaglig dominans av kvantitativa metoder. Vilket dels kan ha påverkat vilka teoretiska modeller som har skapats, dels pekar det på möjliga luckor som forskningen framåt kan fylla. Analysen visar även att roller som härrör från bolagsstyrning inte behöver stå i strid med klassiska politikerroller – de skulle kunna komplettera dem. Studien bygger på 129 artiklar publicerade i 4 topptidskrifter under 2010–2019.

Abstract [en]

The trend of using boards as a form of governance within and between public organizations presents new challenges for elected politicians who often hold positions as board members. They are now entering boardrooms and leading publicly owned companies that operate according to market-based logic. In this literature review, we examine research on corporate governance to identify potential new roles that politicians may undertake. Three board roles are discussed: supervisors, mentors, and connectors to external resources. We also examine the methods used by researchers to study corporate governance and find a significant dominance of quantitative methods, which may have influenced the creation of theoretical models and highlight potential gaps that future research could fill. The analysis shows that roles stemming from corporate governance do not necessarily conflict with classic political roles -they could complement them. The study is based on 129 articles published in four top journals from 2010 to 2019.
