Boards of Directors: Adversaries or Advisers
指出对董事会无能的抱怨源于忽视其潜在能量,强调董事会是企业信息链的关键环节,应加强而非削弱,并以日本大企业董事会组织及政企劳合作为例说明协调努力的效果。
Complaints about the impotency of boards of directors are not entirely justified and stem from a lack of appreciation of their potential (as opposed to kinetic) energy. Boards are a vital link in the corporate world's information chain and should be strengthened rather than curtailed. The organization of boards of large Japanese enterprises and the cooperative relationship which exists between the Japanese firms, labor, and government show what can be achieved through coordinated efforts.
