Description
CASE DESCRIPTION The primary subject matter of this case is corporate governance, and The Walt Disney Company is used as an example of the strengths and weaknesses that can be found in governance systems. Secondary issues examined include CEO role duality, board independence, entrenchment, and succession planning. The case has a difficulty level of four and is most appropriate for undergraduate or graduate-level business education, either in strategic management or leadership. It is designed to be taught in 11/2 class hours and is expected to require 1-2 hours of outside preparation. Specifically, students should first become familiar with the federally-legislated Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and would be well-served to read the case titled Michael Eisner and his Reign at Disney, which can be found in this issue. The case here seeks to demonstrate that what appears to be strong governance may in fact be a facade, by elucidating the subtle components of corporate governance that can slip under the radar but which are crucial if governance is to be effective. When is meeting the letter of the law enough, and how is that determined by shareholders?
