OverviewThis book is about corporate governance in action, more specifically about boards-of-directors in action during board meetings. It is unique because it uses recordings complemented by written notes taken during the board meetings. This organisational peer task group is often unnecessarily seen as a 'mighty secret group'. In fact it is simply another organisational group that has received its organisational delegation of authority from the owners of the organisation. It does most of its institutional business during board-meetings. The author recovers and describes,for the first time ever,in a combined practical and scholarly way, what a specific board-of-directors is doing how during one such full board meeting. Intended Audience: This book is addressed to a large and varied audience, basically anyone who is interested - for whatever reason - in knowing how an organisation is directed. The book does not require the reader to have any specific knowledge or experience. What the reader needs to know in order to understand the phenomenon of directing, for example the structure of board-meetings or the elements of corporate governance, becomes explained as part of the text as far as needed. The text has been written in a scholarly way, which requires the reader to appropriately concentrate. The intended audience includes the broader public, politicians and regulators in addition to those aspiring to become a board-member, as well as those board practitioners who want to become more effective as a board. Students who study corporate governance and who want their course to be more practical, will also benefit from the book. Finally, the book will be useful to those rare academics who study the practical knowledge that board-members apply daily.
