Corporate Governance and Digital Transformation

Corporate Governance and Digital Transformation Synopsis

Corporate Governance and Digital Transformation argues that these are essential domains in organisations in the current digital era that must be aligned and require more dedication and digital expertise within the Board of Directors of any organisation.

In many organisations, the focus of the Board of Directors is still mainly on managing risks with respect to digital transformations instead of prioritising and governing digital transformation business opportunities as well. Additionally, many non-executive directors still have limited knowledge of technology innovations and lack sufficient time for governing digital transformations.

To ensure adequate corporate governance of digital transformations, organisations need to appoint non-executive directors with digital capabilities, besides their general management experience. This book outlines what those capabilities should be and what options are available for Board of Directors to improve their corporate governance.

It also demonstrates how a crossover approach between the two is crucial for achieving success. The book draws upon the authors' non-executive experience, their own research surveys, interviews and round tables with participation of non-executive and executive directors from many Boards of Directors in one- and two-tier boards and across various market segments.

With a global focus, Corporate Governance and Digital Transformation will find an appreciative audience among academics, MBA students and advanced undergraduate students, as well as being a useful reference for practitioners including executive and non-executive directors in both private and public organisations.
