Mauvaise conduite du P-DG : quelle réponse du CA ?
« How should the board respond when a ceo’s bad behavior makes the news? », c’est sous ce titre que David Larcker et Brian Tayan propos une analyse sur le « comment » un CA réagit aux mauvaises nouvelles induites par la mauvaise conduite d’un P-DG
Corporations engage in a variety of responses to allegations of CEO misconduct. The most common is a press release or formal statement on the matter. This occurred 84 percent of the time. In 71 percent of cases, a spokesperson provided direct commentary to the press. Board members were much less likely to speak to the media, making direct comments only 37 percent of the time. In over half of cases (55 percent), the board of directors was known to initiate an independent review or investigation. The board is most likely to announce an independent review in cases of potential financial misconduct. However, the willingness of an individual director to discuss the matter directly with the press does not appear to be associated with the type of behavior involved or the “severity” of the CEO’s actions”.
