A brief chronology of corporate governance across globe:

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the focus of corporate governance was primarily on protecting shareholders' rights and ensuring that companies were run efficiently. In the early 20th century, the focus of corporate governance shifted to the separation of ownership and control. In the mid-20th century, corporate governance began to focus more on ensuring that companies were run ethically and in the best interests of all stakeholders.

In the 1980s and 1990s, corporate governance was again focused on shareholder rights and returns, and the rise of the shareholder value movement led to a greater emphasis on short-term performance and cost-cutting. In the early

21st century, the focus of corporate governance was to include a greater emphasis on sustainability, social responsibility, and long-term value creation. In the 21st century, corporate governance has become a global issue, with an emphasis on corporate social responsibility and sustainable business practices.
