My thoughts about BOD
Alibaba’s BOD consists of relatively young directors compared to other tech giants. All the directors

have an excellent education with MBA Degree’s from best universities in US and EU, and they have

professional background on global giants like GoldmanSachs, Nestle, PWC, KPMG, McKinsey etc.

The Alibaba Group Holding board lacks an independent majority. Presence of multiple company

executives on the board beyond the CEO is a big concern. Multiple inside directors may provide a

too-strong management perspective within the boardroom. These concerns are magnified by other

aspects of the company’s ownership and board structure, e.g., the presence of a controlling

shareholder, the lack of a majority independent board, the presence of multiple company executives

on the board, the absence of an independent chairman of the board.

    NHS Board Assurance Framework (BAF)

    The structure of the board as well as the behaviour of the individual board members are fundamental aspects high-performing organisations and are crucial factors in delivering integrated governance. Whether the board is effective and the framework works in practise will be influenced by the organisational culture, ethos and behaviour of key individuals. The real challenge is not just to design appropriate processes to identify, evaluate, manage and control risk but to ensure that these are embedded into the culture of the organisation. The leadership from the Chair and CEO is essential to establish the right culture and requires them to “lead by example” to ensure that frontline staff understand their role and responsibilities and to carry them out properly and…

    World Com

    Laws and standards defining the responsibilities of the board of directors differ from one country to another. In the US companies must comply with the laws in which the company was incorporated. Many countries agree on what the most important responsibilities of the board of directors are. Setting corporate strategy, overall direction, mission or vision is among the most important. The board of directors is also responsible for controlling, monitoring or supervising top management. This includes hiring and firing of the CEO and top management. They are also responsible for reviewing and approving the use of resources and caring for shareholder interests. (45-46) One of the most well known examples of a board of directors who did not meet it’s responsibility is WorldCom. The board of directors did not control and monitor the CEO who led the destruction of WorldCom and was convicted of accounting fraud and sentenced to 25 years in prison. The CEO ran the company the way he wanted to with his goal of achieving financial growth through acquisitions without having the needed foundation. A driving factor was to build and protect his personal financial condition. The board of directors did not do anything to prevent this fraud. [ (Stefano, 2005) ]…

    Wallace Group Case Study

    The typical large US Fortune 1000 corporation has an average of 11 directors, 2 of whom are insiders. Event though outsiders account for slightly over 80% of the board members in these large US corporations, they account for only about 42% of board membership in small US companies. (Wheelen & Hunger, 2006) It has been stated that outside directors are less biased and more likely to evaluate management's performance objectively than are inside directors. Even research reveals that the likelihood of a firm engaging in illegal behavior or being sued declines with the addition of outsiders on the board. (Wheelen & Hunger, 2006)…

    Corporate Governance and Financial Performance

    Corporate governance is concerned with ways in which all parties interested in the well-being of the firm (the stakeholders) attempt to ensure that managers and other insiders take measures or adopt mechanisms that safeguard the interests of the stakeholders. Such measures are necessitated by the separation of ownership from management, an increasingly vital feature of the modern firm. A typical firm is characterized by numerous owners having no management function, and managers with no equity interest in the firm. Shareholders, or owners of equity, are generally large in number, and an average shareholder controls a minute proportion of the shares of the firm. This gives rise to the tendency for such a shareholder to take no interest in the monitoring of managers, who, left to themselves, may pursue interests different from those of the owners of equity. For example, the managers might take steps to increase the size of the firm and, often, their pay, although that may not necessarily raise the firm’s profit, the major concern of the shareholder.…
