My Home About Me

Reader Jameson Campaigne suggests checking out the two pro-business blogs of business law professor Larry Ribstein. One is on how business is portrayed in movies (badly, of course), and the other is for observations about business in general. This morning Larry posts one of the best quick quips I've seen on the Hewlett Packard board of directors scandal (involving my former partner Patricia Dunn):

Hey, this era of super-independent boards is really great isn't it? ...rather than this clubby atmosphere of trust, we have the independent board chair [Dunn] – a development devoutly pushed by all of the great corporate governance experts – ordering spying on a board member, then outing the spied-on board member at an open director's meeting, bypassing the board committee charged with the matter. The committee chair, Tom Perkins, then loudly resigned from the board, leaving the board in chaos and without one of its most experienced and knowledgeable members.

Anybody got any new great corporate governance ideas we can try out?
