— Despite the fact that integrated approaches for Corporate Governance, Risk and Compliance Management (GRC-Management) are increasingly demanded, GRC is still used as a catchword for a wide range of topics whereas it is to a large extend unclear how the area of topics could be structured and which needs of research exist. Therefore this article analyses the state of research on the basis of strategic GRC-Management requirements and develops a structured research agenda. Keywords— governance, risk management, compliance management, GRC, literature review, research agenda.
