Chapter 4
Handbook of Research on Technology Adoption, Social Policy, and Global Integration
In collectivist societies people are integrated into strong, cohesive in-groups. Loyalty in a collectivist culture is extremely important and over-rides most other societal rules and regulations. Loyalty as a dominant future of collectivist cultures is one of the most important explanatory factors of the dominant presence of family members on boards and at other executive positions of Turkish firms.

Abstract
Corporate communication practice contributes to the good governance of the corporations only if it is used as a strategic management tool. This requires an institutionalized and consistent communication management function in corporations. In this context the study empirically tests the influence of institutionalized corporate communication function on the good governance of firms listed at Borsa Istanbul 100 Index (BIST100). The study also explores the role of institutionalized corporate communication function on identifying the stakeholders of the firms. Findings reveal that there is statistical association not only between institutionalized corporate communication function and good governance but also between institutionalized corporate communication function and stakeholder identification process at BIST100 listed firms. This research is important in the sense that it is the first research that empirically exhibits the association between institutionalized corporate communication function and good governance in Turkey.
