ENGLISH SUMMARY: This study investigates the adequacy of the current corporate governance frameworks by evaluating their efficiency relative to the context of crises. The Covid-19 pandemic is identified as the ideal case study on the merit that it has significant implications for corporate governance theory and practice. The study work from the premise that the current crisis situation necessitates a thorough evaluation of the readiness of the existing corporate governance regimes. While cognizant to the fact that the pandemic is still unfolding, this thesis concedes that the current corporate governance frameworks are not necessarily inadequate to address the crisis situation, rather, they are still evolving to meet the challenge of the day. The thesis therefore suggests that certain areas of governance (including corporate purpose, the integration of digital technologies and cyber security systems, and heightened attention to environmental and social issues) should receive more attention in the future. The principal conclusion of this study is that there is a need to review corporate governance practices and policies in light of new emerging challenges. The study concludes with guidelines for corporate governance practices during times of crisis. AFRIKAANS OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die toereikendheid van huidige korporatiewe beheer raamwerke deur hul doeltreffendheid gedurende krisisperiodes te evalueer. Die Covid-19 pandemie is as die ideale gevallestudie geїdentifiseer omrede dat die pandemie grootskaalse implikasies vir beide die teorie en praktyk van korporatiewe beheer inhou. Die vertrekpunt van die studie is dat die huidige krisissituasie ‘n deeglike ondersoek van die gereedheid van huidige korporatiewe beheer raamwerke vereis. Die pandemie is nog besig om te ontvou, maar die voorplopige gevolgtrekking is dat die huidige korporatiewe beheer raamwerke nie noodwendig onvoldoende is om die pandemie aan te spreek nie; eerder, die raamwerke ontwikkel om met nuwe uitdagings om te gaan. Die tesis stel dus voor dat sekere areas van korporatiewe beheer (insluitend die doel van die korporasie, die integrasie van digitale tegnologiëe en kubersekuriteitsstelsels, en verhoogde aandag aan omgewings- en sosiale kwessies) meer aandag in die toekoms behoort te geniet. Die hoof gevolgtrekking van die studie is dus dat korporatiewe praktyke en beleide hersien behoort te word in die lig van nuwe uitdagings. Die studie eindig met riglyne vir korporatiewe beheerpraktyke gedurende tye van krisis.
