Abstract
Amid a business environment increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, digital transformation, and global disruptions, corporate governance faces new demands. This study reviews and analyzes existing literature to clarify the theoretical foundations of the BANI framework and corporate governance, identify major opportunities and challenges, and propose appropriate governance directions. The findings indicate that the core principles of corporate governance remain relevant but must be applied with greater flexibility and adaptability in an increasingly volatile environment. Opportunities arise from AI, digital transformation, and stronger organizational adaptability, while major challenges involve technological risks, data governance, and governance capabilities. The study proposes managerial implications for strengthening organizational adaptability, risk governance, and sustainable business development in the BANI era.
