Book Synopsis The Independent Director in Society by : Gerry Brown
Download or read book The Independent Director in Society written by Gerry Brown and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Things will always go wrong in organisations. The question is how quickly will they get caught and put right? The problem facing every organisation today – our businesses, universities, health services, or the many other sporting and charitable institutions that shape our society – is that the relationship between their executive management and those whose job it is to oversee them (whether they are called non-executive or independent directors, trustees, or governors) has become unbalanced. The Independent Director in Society shows how to rebalance it. Based on original, in-depth research from Henley Business School, this is the first book to survey and analyse the governance crisis right across society rather than just focus upon the business sector. The authors show that – despite their many differences – all organisations have many issues, behaviours and problems in common. The same problems require, in many cases, the same solutions. Sometimes they don’t. The authors offer two answers. The first lies in the realm of policy. Not a need for more legislation, but a move to give the existing codes of practice back their teeth and make them fit for purpose. The second lies with independent directors themselves. Urgent improvement is needed in standards of thought and action as well as the calibre of these directors. Above all, directors need to develop an independent mindset that will enable them to make better, more accurate decisions. There are many elements to creating this culture, including selection, training and education for directors, and support from chairs and executive teams, but most of all directors themselves must recognise their responsibilities in a complex and volatile world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, grade: A+, Vanderbilt University (Law School), language: English, abstract: The “independent director” has become a centerpiece of modern corporate governance. However, the concept of “independence”, and the ability of independent directors to fulfill their roles, remains deeply problematical. In the course of the discussion on the proper role of independent directors that unfolded in Europe and the United States during the 1980s and 1990s and peaked in the wake of the Enron scandal, rules on director independence have found their way to the corporate governance regimes of developing countries that turned their head to western economies. Particularly in China and India, independent directors have taken their place on company boards, earning mixed responses from the academic and business community. What is the current state of Indian and Chinese rules on director independence? What tensions do they address and create? And what can be done to optimize the achievement of their objectives? The goal of this article is to examine the status quo of director independence in the two countries, to put the regulations into their historic and political context, to summarize practical experiences with the new institution, and to point to possible future developments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you one of the many people in this world who want to make a difference? What if you could make a real lasting difference to your community and change the lives of thousands? The answer is to become an independent director (ID). Independent directors play a vital role in governing health services, charities, sporting bodies and educational establishments and can be especially effective in times of great change and uncertainty. Not only do they play a crucial role in steering and developing strategy, and managing risk, they are also the key to ensuring accountability. They are the people who ensure these organisations properly serve all of their stakeholders, be it employees, customers or the wider society. They are the real long-term custodians of organisations. Now, more than ever, these organisations are crying out for diverse, committed and engaged independent directors. The demand for impartial input is greater than ever before. There is no better time to step up and make a difference. Gerry Brown’s Making a Difference is the essential guide to becoming an ID, what to expect in that position, and what you can achieve once you are one. This book will inspire you to put yourself forward, take a seat at the table and get involved in organisational change. Democratising independent directorship is a powerful way to help transform policies from within and change things for the better.

Book Synopsis The Rise of the Independent Director by : Harald Baum
Download or read book The Rise of the Independent Director written by Harald Baum and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper provides a historical analysis of the rise of the independent director in the US and the UK. These two jurisdictions are commonly credited with creating the concept of the independent director and exporting it around the world.In the first half of the twentieth century, a managerialist model of corporate governance dominated in the US. Inside directors, chosen and controlled by the CEO, dominated corporate boards. The concept of the independent director and the related model of the 'monitoring board' appeared only in the 1970s. Two watershed events sparked this dramatic change: First, the sudden collapse of the major railway company Penn Central in 1970; and second, Eisenberg's influential book 'The Structure of the Corporation', published in 1976. According to Eisenberg, the board's essential function was to monitor the company's management by being independent from it. Today the reliance on independent directors as a panacea for various corporate governance ills has reached its zenith in the US.As in the US, the typical British board of the 1950s was an advisory board dominated by insiders. It was only in the 1990s, with the beginning of the British corporate governance movement subsequent to the publication of the Cadbury Report, that the concept of independent directors was embraced in the UK. Since the early 2000s independent directors have dominated on the boards of listed companies. From the UK, the concept of the independent director started to conquer the European Union as a fundamental corporate governance principle. The European Model Company Act of 2015 and, on the supra-national level, the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance of 2015 recommend assigning important tasks to independent board members.The empirical support for staffing boards with independent directors, however, remains surprisingly shaky given the ubiquitous reliance on independent directors. The global financial crisis of 2008 has added further doubts.
Book Synopsis Director Independence in the Independent Sector by : Dana Brakman Reiser
Download or read book Director Independence in the Independent Sector written by Dana Brakman Reiser and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many corporate governance reforms currently in vogue in the for-profit sector rely on the value of independent directors. It is not hard to imagine state or federal regulators applying the concept to cure perceived accountability and other failures in nonprofit corporations. Indeed, a few such calls have already been heard and some states already have limited experience with independence requirements. Such adaptations, however, raise important questions regarding the useful meaning of quot;independencequot; in the context of nonprofit directors. The concerns that independent director reforms seek to counterbalance - financial interestedness, lack of objectivity, and domination - have different dimensions in the nonprofit sphere than in its for-profit counterpart. This Article explores how a notion of independence would deal with these issues in the particular context of nonprofit corporations. With these issues thus delineated, it then asks whether and how reforms calling for more use of independent directors might be of benefit to the nonprofit sector and nonprofit law.
Book Synopsis The Independent Director by : Bill Houston
Download or read book The Independent Director written by Bill Houston and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is now generally accepted that excellence in corporate governance depends critically on the contribution of independent or nonexecutive directors. They alone among the directors can provide an entirely non-partisan view of a company's affairs." "Independent directors play an essential role in creating corporate strategy and monitoring executive performance. Those outside the company are increasingly looking to them for improved corporate governance, particularly in the wake of major failures such as Polly Peck, BCCI and the Maxwell companies." "This book is a timely response to the increasing interest in this field. It is designed both for aspiring independent directors, and for others interested in the subject such as executive directors and chairmen who will work with the independent directors in the board room. Also useful for investors, bankers, professional advisers and journalists." "Houston and Lewis provide a general overview of the subject; practical guidance and information of direct application and use; and expert views from a wide range of leading practitioners and authorities on the nature and best use of the independent director."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis Corporate Governance and Directors' Independence by : Yuan Zhao
Download or read book Corporate Governance and Directors' Independence written by Yuan Zhao and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more, the agenda of corporate governance reform has been calling for a dramatic change in the composition and structure of boards of publicly traded companies, with particular criticism reserved for the role of independent directors. This timely, ground-breaking book takes a new and rigorous approach to this important issue. Investigating board independence from a distinctly original perspective, the author's systematic analysis explores the effective interaction of such aspects as the following: What specific functions are expected of independent directors? How these functions fit with the unitary board structure? Why independent directors are seen as inherently necessary for corporate governance? Whether board independence can be compatible with other governance mechanisms? How mainstream company law is applied to independent directors. The analysis leads to a series of solutions designed to eliminate the real and perceived obstacles to the proper functioning of independent directors. In the process, the author discusses such critical 'moments' in corporate governance as monitoring, public relations, social responsibility, shareholder activism, the danger of 'groupthink', remuneration, collective liability, and codes of conduct. The discussion and analysis chart a course through which independent directors can better serve the goal of improving the system of corporate governance. As such, it will be greatly appreciated by investors, corporate counsel for institutional investors, and policymakers and academics in relevant areas of both business and law.
Book Synopsis Disaster in the Boardroom by : Gerry Brown
Download or read book Disaster in the Boardroom written by Gerry Brown and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why when companies come crashing down, do we hear of boards who have failed in their fiduciary duties? Or that they have been ignorant, complacent or downright complicit in these scandals and downfalls? Of course, corporate scandals are nothing new, nor are they limited to any one geography. They are a damning indictment of our systems of corporate governance around the world. And yet, despite this frequency, little or nothing changes. We shrug and move on, accepting they are an unavoidable part of the system that produces incredible wealth for economies and societies. But it should not be that way. Disaster in the Boardroom shows how boards can be better. Looking at why these scandals happen, authors Peterson and Brown present in-depth case studies of major global corporations – including recent contemporary scandals associated with companies such as BP, Facebook and Uber – using the optic of their unique, original and compelling ‘six dysfunctions of the board’ analysis to reveal their particularities but also how they can be overcome. In this book, Brown and Peterson explore common attributes of scandals such as lack of independence from management, missing key voices, cultural amplification, diffusion of responsibility, rule-bound cultures and groupthink. They also identify ways to strengthen boards, improve their culture and competence, and give directors and others the power to take action and ultimately prevent disasters from happening. Disaster in the Boardroom is essential reading for every executive in every boardroom, those aspiring to board positions as well as anyone interested in why boards fail. It has never been more important to pre-identify and eradicate these boardroom dysfunctions – not least so that their impacts upon society can better seen, understood, mitigated, and avoided.
