Today's world is a world that has been affected by the plurality of values, a fragmented world, a world with various ways of living, a world in which, as “Sartre" puts it, values do not take precedence over us, but rather they are succeeding us. Therefore an era, in which we live, is called networked society, values are redefined every day, and these values have a decisive role in shaping our identity. In fact, today, the media have transcended geographical, cultural and political boundaries and by its growing and increasing expansion, it has gone beyond the socio-political sphere and has also affected the identity of contemporary human; in a way that, the identity of modern human can be called media identity. Therefore, more than any other time, there is a need for revealing identities and verification and acknowledgment of it by others within the network which can be employed as a fundamental force for understanding the world and introducing self to others. In the meantime, social networks from 2005 onwards have allocated most of the Internet users to themselves and by creating a virtual community and the like-minded groups they have played a great role in creating identity of the individuals. The present study, through the theoretical-analytical method, evaluates the role of these networks in creating and shaping people's identities.

This research focuses on the measurement of the quality of corporate governance and on whether there exists a relationship between corporate governance and firm performance for a sample of the Top 100 companies.  With reference to the battery of models available from the literature and the Code of Corporate Governance applicable to Mauritius, a checklist measuring the effect of 13 key factors was developed and studied in relation to the Taffler model. Analysis from the results shows that on the overall, there is no difference in performance for companies having poor and excellent quality of governance.  Hence no significant relationship has been found between corporate governance and financial performance.

We studied panel data for corporate governance ratings in 51 countries between 1996 and 2005 to better understand what the country-level predictors of corporate governance legitimacy might be.  Using neo-institutional theory, we found that all three forms of isomorphism influenced corporate governance at the national-level.  Specifically, both coercive isomorphic pressures were positively related to perceived corporate governance legitimacy.  In addition, both mimetic isomorphic pressures were positively related to perceived legitimacy.  Finally, one normative pressure (e.g., religious tension) was negatively related to perceived legitimacy.  This study refines and extends the governance literature, as well as the institutional perspective.
