Corporate boards usually perform away from public view, but events at Enron and WorldCom and the recent near collapse of the economy have led to an intense scrutiny into their actions. Consumers, owners, regulators, the media and directors themselves are asking why boards have failed so badly. This timely book explains the principles of corporate governance and dissects what the boards did at several well-known companies, including what they should have done instead.

Review
. . . vivid use of real life case studies makes it come alive. It really is a spanking good read. --Hank Cox, author of Lincoln and the Sioux Uprising
From the Publisher
This informative book is written for directors, for executives who work for boards, and for readers who want to know how boards really work and what role they play in a company's success or failure and what role they are supposed to play in our system of enterprise.
Boudreaux presents a hopeful prescription about what boards can do to avoid failure. This is a book that directors should read and that boards should discuss.
