Responsible board leadership in a digital age

The modern business environment is both complicated and complex, with the Fourth Industrial Revolution adding new challenges by blurring the lines between the physical, biological, and digital worlds. Now, with an increasing rate of change due to rapidly developing technology, and accompanied by new ethical dilemmas associated with this new context, boards of directors are often ill-prepared to manage the so-called director’s dilemma - to lead their enterprise into the future while still keeping it under prudent control. This book brings together the views of established and emerging scholars in the field, focusing on both the broader concepts of responsible board leadership, board maturity, and the value of business, as well as the impact of the digital age on governance, leadership, and communication.
