- Synopsis
- In Western companies, the board of directors functions as the owners' eyes and ears, monitoring the performance of company executives and ensuring that they protect shareholder interests. In this chapter, authors Peter Cappelli, Harbir Singh, Jitendra Singh, and Michael Useem show how, in keeping with the India Way, directors of Indian companies balance the interests of all those with a claim on the company-its employees, its customers, the broader community, even the nation-as well as the interests of actual shareholders. Using the example of Infosys Technologies, which has built a governance model that blends both the rules-based approach of Western firms and the values-based approach indigenous to India, the authors make a compelling case for the India Way of corporate governance-and how putting it into practice can help U.S. executives to contribute not just to investor returns, but to their communities; to focus not just on cutting labor costs, but on building their workforces. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 6 of The India Way: How India's Top Business Leaders Are Revolutionizing Management.
