Since the middle of the twentieth century, business and legal
scholars have tried to explain why corporate boards of directors
function as they do, but it is not easy work to understand what
happens behind the closed doors of boardrooms. Understanding Boards
of Directors examines why research on corporate governance has been
slow and uneven, and where that research should turn next to be
most valuable to practitioners. The author traces the history of
research on corporate boards and analyzes the trends in that
research, including the relative value of the types of data that
researchers in this field have used, and ultimately identifying the
best path forward in studying these complex social systems. The
author focuses primarily on research that reflects firsthand
experience with boards that should provide some guidance for people
working in this evolving field and help to understand the true
complexity of corporate boards.
