A thorough examination of top management teams in reply to a global imperative for clarification of the relationships between governance and senior executives.
Questions of company governance have been examined over the years, but this has generally been in areas concerning shareholders. Meanwhile the management team and board of directors remain comparatively unexplored. This book has been written to provide a way into this relatively unknown world of executive committees.
