Description
Encouraging a transition to a corporate governance model that builds value rather than accepting complacency or defending the status quo, this volume describes how to improve the performance of all institutions. Realizing that board members have a much bigger potential aside from their fiduciary or stewardship responsibilities to stakeholders, this account considers responses made by regulators and professional institutions within the context of sustainable long-term improvement in board performance. The chapters in this book discuss topics such as board structure, board size, and diversity by emphasizing evidence from international empirical research.
