Why are boards of directors so ineffective in dealing with the threats inherent in every corporate governance system? In \u003ci\u003eBetter Boardrooms\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDonner Prize\u003c\/i\u003e winning author Patricia Meredith zeroes in on how boards can help manage uncertainty. Meredith outlines the specific corporate strategies that should be implemented in order to reduce the tremendous waste of resources - financial, human, intellectual, social, and environmental - that occurs when companies fail to respond effectively to forces that are so obviously surrounding them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo regain the reputation of boards as vibrant enablers of economic growth, \u003ci\u003eBetter Boardrooms\u003c\/i\u003e proposes that a broad cross-section - including policy makers and regulators, customers, suppliers, bankers, and investors - work together to create a system better suited to the business obstacles of the twenty-first century. Discussing how the current corporate system is flawed and in desperate need of a digitally focused restructuring, \u003ci\u003eBetter Boardrooms\u003c\/i\u003e proposes a new model of governance, one based on dialogue and collaboration that ensures all relevant voices are heard and included. As boundaries between industries blur and stakeholders gain greater access to information, it is vital that boards of directors help set corporate strategy rather than simply approve it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Meredith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442649755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442649750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rotman-Utp Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2022","brand":"Patricia Meredith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46052293050623,"sku":"9781442649750","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0cb0e3b8-0184-45c6-8ac2-eeb3511bc526.jpg?v=1723555903","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/better-boardrooms-patricia-meredith-9781442649750","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
