Changement dans les pratiques de gouvernance de RIM
« According to the report, RIM was forced to choose between the wishes of Canadian shareholders and organizations which “strongly prefer, if not demand” that RIM appoint an independent chairman, separate from the chief executive role, to lead the company’s board of directors, and the business practices of American companies.
While the majority of the TSX 60 and TSX Composite companies divide the roles of chair of the board and CEO, in the U.S., the majority of the largest publicly traded U.S. companies and those firms that make up the S&P 500 do not split the roles of chair and CEO, forgoing independent chairs.
Faced with this schism, the Committee came to the point of view that the strong opposition to non-independent chairs in Canada should outweigh the other considerations, including current practice in the United States and in RIM’s ecosystem, the report states ».
