Description for Corporate Boards: New Strategies for Adding Value at the Top
Hardcover. This title explores the role a board should play within the 21st century organization and what behaviours make a board effective as a group. Num Pages: 240 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: KJM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 194 x 235 x 16. Weight in Grams: 434.
This outstanding work reveals how boards governing 21st-century organizations can change their practices and align their principles to successfully govern the organization of the new economy. The authors propose that judging a board's effectiveness should be done not in a "shareholder" context but in a "stakeholder" context instead. They couch their reforms in a framework that focuses on what determines effective governance behavior: information, knowledge, power, and rewards.They argue it is behavior, not practices that count, and look at boards from a group and an organizational perspective.
