The Value Creating Board: Corporate Governance and Organizational Behaviour

During recent decades mostly, boards have been studied within a framework of corporate governance where the interests of external investors are emphasized. This book breaks new ground, offering a major survey on boards of directors throughout various European countries, opening up the hitherto unexamined area of study of board behaviour and the workings of the value creating board. The framework and the contributions in the book include concepts as the knowledge and diversity of board members; trust and interactions inside and outside the board room; board leadership and structure; oardroom decision-making, and corporate entrepreneurship and innovation. The value creation of boards are not only related to value protection for certain shareholders or value distribution to various stakeholders, but also to value creation throughout the whole value chain as for example in relation to innovation and corporate entrepreneurship.Huse, Morten is the author of 'The Value Creating Board: Corporate Governance and Organizational Behaviour', published 2008 under ISBN 9780415437424 and ISBN 0415437423.
