Dr. Yılmaz Argüden's presentation
About the Book
Boardroom Secrets: Corporate Governance for Quality of Life describes how the global economic crisis is above all else, a corporate governance crisis. Recent high-profile corporate failures have clearly demonstrated that good governance is the key to the sustainability of the corporation. Good governance is a lot more than compliance. It is a culture and a climate of consistency, responsibility, accountability, fairness, transparency, and effectiveness that are developed throughout the organization (CRAFTED principles of governance).
The book focuses on the behavioral aspects of good governance and helps address questions such as:
- How confident are you that the Board of Directors of your company is providing the right kind of guidance and oversight?
- Do you think that in your company the right balance is achieved in the areas of short-term vs. long term performance, risk vs. reward, and ethical considerations vs. market practices?
- Is your Board effective in terms of critical but constructive questioning and identifying and addressing key risk areas?
- What is your Board doing to improve its own performance?
About the Program
A light lunch will be served beginning at 12:30 p.m. Dr. Yılmaz Argüden's presentation will run from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. and include Q&A. "Boardroom Secrets: Corporate Governance for Quality of Life" will be available on site. Dr. Yılmaz Argüden will answer questions including:
- Is the economic crisis really the result of lax corporate governance?
- Why are corporate boards specifically responsible?
- What are some of the more common practices used by executive boards that put us on the path to a recession?
- Why are “CRAFTED” principles of governance ideal?
- What advice would you give stockholders who believe the boards of companies they’ve invested in aren’t acting properly?
- Is the government’s move to slash executive compensation the right remedy?
- Is the government’s role to reduce excessive risk-taking by executives whose compensation are tied to company performance?
