For an initial benchmarking approach, this paper compared a poor long-term market performance company (Grove & Clouse, 2019) with a strong long-term market performance company (Grove & Lockhart, 2019). The following benchmarked differences in the boards of directors of these two companies were key success factors for constellation: specific industry knowledge, younger directors, coaching/nurturing, involved roles, long-term compensation of directors, no board entrenchment, board assessment, and board committee rotation. The major sections of this paper are literature review, corporate board practices, benchmarking board of directors: poor long-term market performance example, benchmarking board of directors: strong long-term market performance example, conclusions, and future research. A major limitation of this paper, which could be investigated in future research, is to analyze benchmarked board categories to see if they help explain differences in comparative long-term market performances by many companies since companies and their markets are diverse.","PeriodicalId":238287,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Board role duties and composition","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116535555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper updates the initial case study of the activist investor, Barington Capital Group, in analyzing the performance of a public company, L Brands, which had lost $20 billion in market capitalization in the last three years prior to the public letter from Barington to the L Brands CEO in March 2019. This updated case study analyzes whether Barington’s initial recommendations worked as operational guidelines for improving L Brands’ financial, corporate governance, and strategic management performances. From its financial analysis, Barington recommended either an initial public offering of the superior performing Bath & Body Works brand or a spinoff of the weak performing Victoria’s Secret brand. From its corporate governance and strategic management analysis, Barington recommended that L Brands improve the composition of its board of directors whose deficiencies in director independence, industry experience, and diversity hindered its ability to effectively oversee and advise strategic management. It is important to note that this paper was prepared exclusively with public information.","PeriodicalId":238287,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Board role duties and composition","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122729173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several related factors were discovered, including relevance in design, sustainable human development experiences, complementary design, holistic development of products, spatial quality dimension, a new vision for society, adaptations of current teaching practices, an extension of the “end-of-life” concept, stable policies, multifaceted concept applications, and transverse competent. In order to combat the challenge of limited resources to developing a mindset of transformations, a platform with shared resources is needed to triangulate the transformative servant leadership concept, ESG (environmental, social, and corporate governance) concept with trust (education values with social and governance) and use of sustained materials in flow concept (environmental mindset) when educating the community for the meaning of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ESG in their lives","PeriodicalId":238287,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Board role duties and composition","volume":"30 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116335376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
