Every day, companies are faced with dozens, even hundreds, of critical decisions concerning the allocation of resources, financial and organizational structure, and strategic direction.

Boards of directors are the "watchers" who govern the destinies of today's corporations, and Robert Monks and Nell Minow have been watching over their actions for years. This...

The detailed analysis and critique of performance of governance specifies reforms that will make that possible....

"This book examines the failure of "gatekeepers"--Corporate directors, regulators, auditors, lawyers, investment bankers, and business journalists - to stand between corporate misconduct and the public interest.

Stronger professional standards are prescribed."--Jacket.

These teams encouraged a vigorous restructuring of American industry through corporate...

The governance issues surrounding IPOs are relatively unexamined compared to more established, and usually larger, firms.

As this book demonstrates, boards have persistently failed to negotiate at arm's length with the executives they are meant to oversee. Lucian Bebchuk and Jesse Fried give a richly detailed account of how pay practices - from option plans to retirement benefits...
