A new edition of the number one book in the human computer interaction field! This book seeks to chart the technology-fueled changes taking place in the field of corporate governance and describes the impact these changes are having on boards and the enterprises they govern. It also describes what the future could look like once companies truly embrace the power of technology to change governance. Additionally, this book will provide a set of "suggested action steps" for companies and their boards focused on ways they can leverage technology tools to enhance governance immediately.

A book of platitudes
Revisado: 11-13-23
The book started off OK, but turned into a book of platitudes, e.g. directors should be diligent, should be respectful, should keep the best interest of the company and its shareholders always in mind. I'm making up the exact platitudes here, but they are directional correct. There was also a great deal of repetition; literally the same thing said three or four times at different places in the book. And despite claiming to have experience from hundreds if not thousands of companies and many interviews with directors, it seemed that less than a handful of directors were quoted. The same directors were quoted again and again. And the sophistication of the advice was betrayed by quoting from directors who sit on eight or nine boards. There is no way that a director can do an adequate job, let alone the tasks set by the book for directors, if they sit on eight or nine boards. That is one of the things that is wrong with current practices. I also found that the authors confused the role of director and CEO, suggesting the directors travel around to sit with employees, attend operational meetings and get involved in other areas that are the provence of the CEO. Finally, I found the division of all Boards into four types, i.e., foundational boards, structural boards, activist boards and future boards to be rather arbitrary and not particulary insightful or helpful.

Golan Trevize, former councilman of the First Foundation, has chosen the future, and it is Gaia. A superorganism, Gaia is a holistic planet with a common consciousness so intensely united that every dewdrop, every pebble, every being, can speak for all - and feel for all. It is a realm in which privacy is not only undesirable, it is incomprehensible. But is it the right choice for the destiny of mankind? While Trevize feels it is, that is not enough. He must know.

A wall on Gaia would do a better job narrating this book.

What is the opposite of a star? A black hole? I give the Performance category five black holes — cancelling any star given in the Story Category. Overall rating would be 0 at best. Unfortunately there is no way to give an overall negative rating. Return this audiobook and get a hard copy. You might actually enjoy the book and realize there is more than one character in the story, not just one character speaking to itself in monotones.
