Technique Overview

Board Governance Value

Board Governance Value Definition

Board-level governance refers to “the interactions between internal actors, external actors and the board members in directing a corporation for value creation. Accountability thus goes beyond managerial opportunism on behalf of distant shareholders… Value creation occurs throughout the whole value chain, and board accountability also includes a large set of board tasks” (Huse, 2007).
