SUMMARY:Corporate Boards in Challenging Times: Advisors\, Supervisors\, Gatekeepers?
DESCRIPTION:The Board of Directors – a cornerstone of corporate governance responsible for management oversight\, executive compensation\, succession planning\, crisis management\, and\norganizational direction – faces unprecedented challenges today. These include intensifying shareholder activism\, global political and economic upheaval\, technological disruption\, cybersecurity threats\, artificial intelligence\, and an overall “sense of predictable future slipping away” (Zuboff\, 2019). According to the Spencer Stuart Global Board Survey (2024)\, over 75% of directors report heightened business uncertainty\, while fewer than one-third of CEOs believe they have the right board composition to address their\norganizations’ needs. Our distinguished panel will discuss three critical questions for contemporary board of directors: (1) balancing shareholder activism and short-term pressures against long-term value creation\, (2) navigating the board’s supervisory role versus its strategic advisory and gatekeeping functions\, and (3) addressing cybersecurity challenges and AI implications for board governance. \nChristina Ahmadjian has served as a non-executive director at major Japanese companies\, including Mitsubishi Heavy Industries\, the Japan Exchange Group (parent company of the Tokyo Stock Exchange)\, Asahi Group Holdings (parent company of Asahi Beer)\, and NEC. She advises Japanese companies and government on DEI\, corporate governance\, and innovation. Christina Ahmadjian is a professor at Hitotsubashi University in Tokyo. Her research interests include comparative corporate governance\, interorganizational networks and business groups\, the effect of global capital markets on local management practices\, and the changing face of the Japanese firm.
