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.
