Discussion Post: Corporate Governance, Strategy, and Ethics
Part I
o What are the major criticisms of boards of directors? Which single criticism do you find to be the most important? Why?
As the beginning of a scholarly conversation, your initial post should be:
o Succinct-no more than 200 words.
o Provocative-use concepts and combinations of concepts from the readings to propose relationships, causes, and/or consequences that inspire others to engage (inquire, learn). In other words, take a scholarly stand.
o Supported-scholarly conversations are more than opinions. Ideas, statements, and conclusions are supported by clear research and citations from course materials as well as other credible, peer-reviewed resources.
Part II
Read the ethics case "Is Resume Inflation and Deception Okay" in Chapter 7 of the textbook. By the end of the week, provide your views for the following questions:
o In light of the prevalence of these practices, is resume inflation and deception okay? Provide examples of what might be acceptable or unacceptable.
o If you had been on Yahoo!'s board, would you have supported keeping Thompson?
Why do you suppose Thompson resigned?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
