Description - The Board Game by Peter Waine
A Director's Bible for Winning in Business
:Peter Waine
The corporate board game is complex and fraught with dangers for
the unwary. In this anecdotal but practical handbook for life at
the top of the corporate tree, Peter Waine distils his many years
of experience into a biting expose of how company decisions are
really made and executed. In vivid detail he shows how boards work
in practice, and the differences between the boards of large and
small companies. He also examines how corporate strategies evolve
through boom and bust years, and how such changes can affect the
company's relationship with the Square Mile. And he profiles the
typical board and its interaction - the various personnel, the
often tense relationship between CEO and Chairman, and the role of
the non-executive director (NED).
