Opening Case More information has been released on the case related to the Great Eastern Hotel we saw in Chapter 1. The turbulence in the economic environment has resulted in policy changes such that banks, financial services firms, and automobile firms-which all form an integral part of the hotel's target markets-have cut travel-related expenses for executives. No longer can executives of these firms travel first class on their business visits; they must now use only economy class travel. Moreover, they are now required to cut hotel stay-related expenses, so they have to stay in three- and four-star hotels and not pay more than USD 200 per night. These restrictions have had a major impact on hotels like Great Eastern, which Debbie and her executives must resolve. The U.S. government is bailing out banks and financial institutions, and since Great Eastern has a major influx of business travelers from U.S. firms, it is important that Debbie and her team consider the impact of government…

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is also the chairperson of the board of directors. A study shows that the lack of separation of the CEO and the chairmanship of the board of directors has led to the board being aligned to the management rather than the shareholders despite the presence of the independent non-executive directors. In addition, the study also shows that companies which have CEO duality are likely to have lower shareholder returns. The independent non-executive directors of the company subscribe to the view that directors have a legally mandated fiduciary duty to their shareholders to maximize the profit of the company. Thus, to them, ethical standards are less important than legal standards in the pursuit of making profit.   (a)  Describe the specific contributions that independent non-executive directors could make to…
