This allowed The decision to be in the favor of the board and it’s members. They found that board can and will be removed if there acts are unconditional.

Yes, I wholeheartedly agree that more emphasis should be placed on the Board of Directors when it comes to ethics, morals and philanthropic. Important roles of the BOD are to provide the mission, vision, goals and overall direction of the company. It is also important that recruit a CEO who poses the same work ethics and moral characteristics to implement the vision and goals of the BOD. When it comes to helping those that are less fortunate, it is important that BOD are honest and act as humanitarians and not use this as an opportunity for self-gain

Within two years, DecisionTech, Inc. had built a reputation as the top technology company in the country. They had a strong business plan that would lead them into the next stages of new technology and investors were lining up to get a piece. Furthermore, they had young qualified engineers submitting resume’s regularly in hopes of employment. However, after a while, their executive team developed internal conflict and was unable to lead this bright and promising company to the next stage. Word of these actions had circulated and the company had now become known for having personal political agendas and backstabbing; therefore, the Chairman of the board demanded change.

Recent years, there is an increasing rate on sexual scandals of Chief Executive Officers from business and political area. As a result, these CEOs not only lost their jobs because of bad influence from sexual harassment, but experience a higher chance of ruining company’s reputation and firm future performance. Under this circumstance, an increasing number of companies decide to add code of moral into the area of corporate governance and declare that CEOs should resigned or be fired when they related to some scandals. However, other corporations choose to not fire the CEO and at the meantime to help them hide this news from the media and the public.

To the extent of prevention of corporate failure, I argue that three ASX principles and recommendations could halt the demise of Dick Smith. Firstly, the 2nd principle which is “Structure the board to add value” by structuring the board with a majority of independent directors would prevent CEO dominance because some suggest that independent outside directors can reduce the influence of dominant individuals (ASX, 2014, p. 17). In accordance with Gallagher and Bennie (2015, p. 20), the independent directors are likely to focus on the company’s objectives and not to make decision relying on others. Furthermore, an addressing of independent directors would reduce the reliance on management, and create the effectiveness on monitoring (Dechow et al. 1996 cited in Christensen, Kent, and Stewart (2010)), as well as capability to lessen the conflict of interest between managers and shareholders (Hardjo & Alireza, 2012, p. 4). Thus, DSE’s board would be more active to monitor the CEO’s performances because independent directors pay attentions to the interest of company (Gallagher & Bennie, 2015, p. 20) and shareholders (Hardjo & Alireza, 2012, p. 4)

Sharon gave priority to the executive officers, and the company by trying to get the information to them so that it could be corrected quietly, and prevent the corporation from collapsing. Moreover, the company treasurer Jeff McMahon was transferred when he complained to CEO Jeffrey Skilling about cooking the books. For fear that a similar kind of repercussion could besiege her Mrs. Waltkins kept quiet for months about the manipulation and deceit showing false profits,

Another central feature of the board of directors is the question of whether the CEO is also the chairman of the board. When the CEO is also the chairman this is often referred to as “CEO duality”. In the US the CEO is often the chairman of the board. Studies have shown that the board in most cases

In large corporations the success or failure of the company is the responsibility of the board of directors. According to Richard DeGeorge, “The members of the board are responsible to the shareholders for the selection of honest, effective managers, and especially for the selection for the CEO and of the president of the corporation.” (p. 202). The board members have a moral responsibility to ensure the corporation is run honestly, in respect to its major policies, and to ensure the interests of the shareholders are satisfied. The next responsibility within a corporation is the responsibility management has to its board of directors. DeGeorge writes, “It must inform the board of its actions, the decisions it makes or the decisions to be made, the financial condition of the firm, its successes and failures, and the like.” (p. 202). The management of the corporation is morally obligated to

One of the challenges I will face as a CEO is the result of reduction in payments from Medicare and the financial strain it will cause on my hospital. Providing quality care and remain financially strong in a system of fee for service (Weiss, 2010). We have payment systems which reward in units of work not for the care outcomes. We must provide increasing efficiency, care that is appropriate and using resources wisely all in the best interests of patients.

The executives are accountable to the board of directors. Instead of protecting the investors, the board enticed the culture of financial fraud in the company for selfish gains. It failed in its duties in keeping the executives in check.

Doesn’t he have a conflict of interest? He is the professional manager. He cannot represent the shareholders and impartially sit in judgment of himself. F Nyamtandah of CAPS holdings holds a dual position of being the Chairman and CEO. This is against the King III Report which states that no one person should hold the position of both the chairman and Chief Executive Officer as this compromises the his independency when there is need for evaluating the performance of the CEO, thus F Nyamtandah evaluates his own performance as he is also the Chairman. Typically, however, start-up company CEOs do not have this wealth of experience, nor the disciplined mind necessary to manage both Board and management processes which can sometimes be in conflict. Too often, having both roles vest in the same individual concentrates too much knowledge and power. In such companies, other directors are dependent upon the agenda set by the Chairman/CEO for the Board. They can become marginalized, since they won’t know what questions to ask that are not on the agenda. Directors, no matter how diligent, cannot spend as much time keeping current as the Chairman/CEO. Consequently, there is a great tendency to defer to the judgment of the Chairman/CEO who is better informed.
