传统的公司治理研究建立在委托代理理论的经济人假设上，但治理主客体所嵌入的社会网络同样会对其自身决策行为施加影响。相较于以经济属性为中心的代理理论，关注行动者社会属性的社会网络理论为公司治理研究开辟了新的方向。基于内外治理机制的划分和现有研究的积累，本文首先对公司治理中存在的董事网络、投资者网络和利益相关者网络三种社会网络类型进行讨论，论述了社会网络构建的外部制度背景动因和内部资源依赖动因，并对网络的概念类型和联结多样性进行界定。其次，针对性地检索了国内外现有文献，运用CiteSpace进行科学计量分析和热点挖掘，发现相较于国外研究进展，我国公司治理中的社会网络研究还有较大的拓展空间。最后，在总结和比较现有研究成果的基础上，指出现有研究在思路、方法、内容等方面的趋势变化，为社会网络治理机制的未来研究提供建议和帮助。%Traditional corporate governance research is based on the economic man hypothesis of principal-agent theory, but the social networks which actors embedded in also exert influences on actors’ decision-making behaviors. Compared with agent theory focusing on economic attributes, social network theory focusing on social attributes of actors opens up a new direction for corporate governance research. Based on the classification of internal and external governance mechanisms and current research accumulation, this paper firstly discusses three social networks in corporate governance, including board network, investor network and stakeholder network, elaborates the motivations for the construction of social networks, namely external institutional background and internal resource dependence, and defines the concept types&connection diversity of networks. Secondly, it pertinently retrieves domestic and foreign literature, uses CiteSpace to make a scientometrics analysis and hot topic exploration, and argues that compared with foreign research development, there is still a larger space for the development of social network research in corporate governance in China. Finally, based on the summary and comparison of existing research achievements, it points out the trend changes in ideas, possible methodology and content and provides suggestions and help for future research of social network mechanisms.
