Corporate governance has long been examined as a mechanism for controlling managerial behavior and protecting shareholder interests. However, in the context of international firms operating across diverse institutional environments, governance increasingly shapes not only control outcomes but also business management performance. Despite extensive research on governance structures, limited attention has been given to how executive-level governance practices influence strategic decision-making, managerial accountability, and performance execution in multinational settings. This article argues that corporate governance should be understood as a performance-enabling system rather than solely a compliance or monitoring framework. Drawing on insights from international business and executive management perspectives, the study examines how governance mechanisms?such as board structure, executive oversight, and accountability systems?interact with business management processes to influence organizational performance. The analysis emphasizes the role of executives as both subjects and agents of governance, highlighting how governance arrangements shape strategic control, leadership behavior, and performance outcomes. By integrating corporate governance theory with business management performance considerations, the article offers a nuanced perspective on governance effectiveness in international firms. The study contributes to governance literature by reframing governance as a strategic capability that supports executive decision-making and sustained performance across borders. Practical implications are provided for boards and senior executives seeking to enhance governance effectiveness in complex international environments.
