The Boardroom

This insightful book delves into corporate governance in Asia, particularly Indonesia, offering unique perspectives and practical recommendations for effective leadership.

Most literature on corporate governance tends to cater to a Western audience. The Boardroom, however, presents a refreshing perspective by focusing on the unique socio-cultural and judicial elements that shape leadership development in Asia, with a particular emphasis on the Indonesian context. This book highlights the distinct board structures and practices prevalent in the region, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of how these factors influence corporate governance.

While the principles of good corporate governance are universally acknowledged, their application can vary significantly across different countries. In the face of global competition, socio-economic fluctuations, and geopolitical challenges, The Boardroom explores how leaders in Asian boardrooms navigate these complexities. It provides valuable insights into enhancing the effectiveness of boards and fostering better organizational outcomes, making it a crucial resource for those interested in Asian business dynamics.

Board members, as fiduciaries, hold the responsibility to protect the interests of their organizations and ensure sustainable growth. The Boardroom offers practical recommendations for business managers, investors, academics, and students seeking to improve corporate governance practices in Asia. The authors, Dr. Tanri Abeng and Prof. Dr. Peter Verhezen, blend their extensive practical experience with rigorous academic research to outline what is expected from a board and how to adapt governance principles to fit the unique needs of Indonesian and other Asian companies.
