The mission of the IRRC Institute is to provide thought leadership at the intersection of corporate responsibility and the informational needs of investors. While the Institute is a relatively new non-profit organization, formed with the proceeds of the sale of the Investor Responsibility Research Center in 2006, it continues the tradition and standards of objective research for which IRRC has been known since 1972. For more information, please see www.irrcinstitute.org.

Corporate Governance Educator: Courses, Cases & Teaching is devoted to advancing the teaching and learning of social, environmental, and ethical issues in business. In addition to teaching-related research, this journal will publish course syllabi, teaching notes, sample exams and homework assignments - anything that would make it easier for a fellow educator to teach these issues. Topics are typically organized by academic discipline (marketing, finance, operations management).

Authors submitting their work to the CGN network should submit it to no more than two CGN journals. In particular, they should submit it to no more than one "methodological" CGN journal (CG & Accounting; CG & Economics; CG & Finance; CG & Law; CG & Management; CG & Sociology or Psychology; CG Educator; CG Practice Series), and should submit it to no more than one of the "sub-field" journals (Acquisitions, Mergers, Contests for Control, & Activism; Actors & Players; Arrangements & Laws; Bankruptcy, Financial Distress, & Reorganization; Capital Raising, Investments, Distributions, & Market Trading; Comparative; Compensation of Executives & Directors; Economic Consequences, History, Development, & Methodology; Disclosure, Internal Control, & Risk-Management; Internal Governance, Organization, & Processes; Governance of Special Types of Firms; International/Non-US; or Social Responsibility & Social Impact).
