Board of Directors Survey 2012
« In one of the most comprehensive global surveys of corporate directors to date, Heidrick & Struggles, WomenCorporateDirectors (WCD), Professor Boris Groysberg of the Harvard Business School, and Researcher Deborah Bell find that directors globally share broad agreement about the forces shaping and challenging the world of boardrooms today – while still differing on pivotal issues such as board diversity and the use of quotas. The third annual global Board of Directors survey captures in extensive detail the governance practices, strategic priorities and views on board effectiveness of corporate directors around the world. Drawn from a universe of more than 1,000 directors from 58 countries, this is the deepest and broadest exploration in the series to date into how boards think and operate ».
Findings compare and contrast the views between male and female corporate board directors as well as US and non-US directors in six key areas:
• Political and economic landscape
• Company strategy
• Board diversity
• Diverse candidates and quotas
• Board governance and effectiveness
• Succession planning
