Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The mission of every professional service firm is to deliver outstanding client service, provide fulfilling careers and professional satisfaction for their employees, and achieve financial success so that they can reward themselves and grow. #2 The required shape of the organization is primarily determined by the skill requirements of its work. For Brains projects, which involve highly skilled and highly paid professionals, the opportunities to leverage the top professionals with juniors are limited. #3 The three categories of project types are those that involve the highest proportion of junior time, those that involve the highest proportion of senior time, and those that involve both junior and senior time. The choice of project types is one of the most important variables available to balance the firm. #4 The archetypal structure of the professional service firm is an organization containing three professional levels. In a consulting organization, these levels might be labeled junior consultant, manager, and vice president. In a CPA firm, they might be referred to as staff, manager, and partner.

Book Description
A battle is being fought within corporations. Shareholders want managers to make their shares as valuable as possible, managers want shareholders to leave them alone, and the board of directors is caught in the middle. The Firm Divided shows how strong boards persuade managers to do what's best for shareholders-and why weak boards don't. Graeme Guthrie blends the stories of particular firms and individuals with the insights of scholarly research, enhancing understanding of how seemingly separate events are consequences of the separation of ownership and control, the ultimate cause of manager-shareholder conflict. Boards of directors can affect the outcome of this conflict by monitoring managers, providing incentives for managers to work in shareholders' best interests, delegating monitoring to outside parties, and influencing the effectiveness of the market for corporate control. How directors do this depends on how they weigh their fiduciary duty to shareholders against the close ties that bind them to senior executives. The Firm Divided provides conceptual insight, underpinned by research into corporate governance, into board-manager interactions. It shows how tools that can benefit shareholders when used by strong boards can actually harm shareholders when used by weak boards. Guthrie provides a 360 degree view of firms, exploring the ways in which each player pursues their own goals, with examples from a range of firms in diverse industries.
