Product Details

Jack Wright, CEO of Dryden Corporation, led his company to strong growth and profitability levels during the previous 10 years. Now he has been approached to join the board of directors of the Mega Corporation. The case requires students to consider the pros and cons of board membership and to decide whether they would recommend Wright join the board. This updated case is the first case study in a series of cases on corporate governance. It is meant to replace UVA-OM-1083. It is used in Darden's "Corporate Governance" elective.
