ABSTRACT

The purpose of the present study is to extend our understanding of the awareness of corporate governance in Lebanon. Only 60 valid self-administered questionnaires were returned from managers working for different organizations were used as the population for this study. More than 75 per cent of the sample disagree or strongly disagree that ‘Corporate Governance basically means that while involving you and your brother/sister in management the final decision-maker is your father (mother)’. The findings of this study shows that the majority of the managers in the sample are highly educated and they believe in separating management from ownership and in having control over management. More important they do belong to the current information age and they understand the importance of implementing eCRM and DSS systems in advancing corporate governance in Lebanon. A cross validation of the findings across different industries and different sectors becomes imperative before we can generalize the findings to all managers in Lebanon.
