Abstract: This case study, first in the series, is a curtain raiser to Satyam Computers’ corporate governance fiasco. While capturing the first three days’ (December 16th 2008 – December 18th 2008) events, this case study chronicles the events as they unfolded. What started as a routine business (board’s) affair, ended up in India’s Enron like situation. This case enables an interesting discussion on: (a) the role of independent directors, (b) the role of shareholder activism, (c) the larger fiduciary role of Board of Directors and (d) the moral and ethical role of founder-CEO. |
