Infosys Limited: Governance Imbroglio
內容大綱
This case provides a platform to discuss the role of the board in the governance of a corporation. Extant discourse on the role of the board is largely centered on the challenges of monitoring managerial behavior and as a consequence on board independence. The two other critical tasks of the board - mentoring the leadership (based on expertise) and maintaining continuity with robust succession of both the board and the executive leadership - are not as well documented. Set in 2019, this case documents the rollercoaster ride of Infosys Limited - India's second largest software services company - from an icon of corporate governance to its fall from grace after an ugly fight between its co-founders and the board, following whistle-blower allegations of governance failures. The case helps demonstrate the importance of issues related to board succession (to ensure continuity) and board capital (to guide strategic choices) that are often overlooked.
