America's Changing Corporate Boardrooms: The Last Twenty-Five Years
By: Jay W. Lorsch
Abstract
This article outlines several significant changes in corporate boardrooms over the past twenty-five years and uses those lessons to propose a thought experiment about how boards can be shaped in the future. Professor Lorsch argues that the major problems in the last twenty-five years have been the negative, unindended consequences of reforms and the inability to balance the interests of the various stakeholders. Future policymakers should turn their attention to resolving these issues, because they have the potential to thwart other attempts at progress.
