Routledge - The Black Box of Governance: Boards Revealed

Unlock the secrets of corporate decision-making with The Black Box of Governance. For many, the board of directors remains a mystery, functioning as a closed machine that only those inside the room truly understand.

Written by a board member with over 25 years of experience, this work provides a rare look at how boards have functioned in the past and how they can be improved for the future.

The author utilizes data from three distinct surveys, including a study of 340 board members from 40 different countries and detailed research involving over 100 Brazilian directors. Whether you are a professional in management science or interested in business law, this book offers a practical perspective on the mechanics of corporate leadership. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the internal workings of the boards that drive global companies.
