Transparency – the disclosure, accuracy and clarity of information provided by senders to receivers which is increasingly driven by advances in digital technologies – is sometimes hailed as a panacea for a wide range of problems and challenges that businesses and other actors face. To provide a forum that bridges diverse perspectives on transparency in business research, we invite papers that examine new forms, causes, and (intended and unintended) consequences from the perspectives of corporations, their stakeholders, other organizations, and policy-makers.
