Note(s) : Notes bibliogr. Index
"In this groundbreaking work, Stephen Bainbridge and Todd Henderson change the conversation
about corporate governance by examining the origins, roles, and performance of boards
with a simple question in mind : why does the law require governance to be delivered
through individual board members? While tracing the development of boards from quasi-political
bodies through the current "monitoring" role, the authors find the reasons for this
requirement to be wanting. Instead, they propose that corporations be permitted to
hire other business associations-known as "Board Service Providers" or BSPs-to provide
governance services. Just as corporations hire law firms, accounting firms, and consulting
firms, so too should they be permitted to hire governance firms, a small change that
will dramatically increase board accountability and enable governance to be delivered
more efficiently. Outsourcing the Board should be read by academics, policy makers,
and those within the corporations that will benefit from this change"
