Robert Pozen

Pozen addresses current trends and reform proposals in the area of corporate governance and reviews what we know about the optimal size, structure, and composition of corporate boards. He spends considerable time on evaluating recent reforms in executive compensation and some of their unintended consequences, and he also looks at the role of the audit committee and whether the recent reforms are likely to prevent another Enron. Finally, Pozen makes practical suggestions on how we can shift from a short-term to a long-term approach to increasing shareholder value.
