Question:
Your company is exploring the possibility of entering into a Joint Venture Agreement with ABC123, Inc. You have been assigned by the board of directors to get as much information as you can on ABC123. Naturally, you visit their website as a starting point.
When you go to Google, you discover that ABC 123 has a website so you click on that link. The landing page of the website, however, is one that prominently features the biography of Donald Grump, President and CEO. It also has a full-sized photo of the said person. At the bottom of this page is a link with the caption "Board of Directors". When clicked, the link leads you to a page with the thumbnail profile photos of the rest of the board as well as short, one-paragraph biographies of these 6 other persons.
What initial recommendations about the leadership of ABC123, Inc. can you make about the governance at this potential business partner?
