Description

Disaster in the Boardroom: Understanding and Overcoming Corporate Governance Failures Corporate scandals are a persistent problem, with boards often failing to meet their fiduciary duties. Despite this, little changes, and we accept them as an inevitable part of the system that drives economic growth. However, it shouldn't be that way. This book presents in-depth case studies of major global corporations, including recent scandals at companies like BP, Facebook, and Uber, using a unique analysis of six key dysfunctions of the board. The authors identify common attributes of scandals, such as lack of independence from management and groupthink, and explore ways to strengthen boards, improve their culture and competence. By understanding why boards fail and how they can be improved, readers will gain valuable insights into corporate governance and take away practical advice on how to prevent disasters from happening.
