Out Of The Shadows: Requiring Strategic Management Disclosure, Nadelle Grossman

Nadelle Grossman

Under federal securities laws and related regulations, public companies must disclose a host of information about their risk management processes to protect firm value. By contrast, these companies need not disclose virtually anything about their strategic management processes to generate firm value. As a result, investors are given a lopsided picture of firm processes to create value, undermining one of the federal securities laws’ central purposes of ensuring that investors receive complete information about public firms.

To address this concern, I propose that the Securities and Exchange Commission require public firms to disclose those qualities of their strategic management processes …

The Duty To Think Strategically, Nadelle Grossman

Nadelle Grossman

Under Delaware corporate law, directors and officers have a duty to oversee their firm’s management of risk to limit losses. Corporate law does not, however, require directors or officers to oversee their firm’s management of strategy to create gains. Yet managing both risk and strategy are essential to a firm in creating value. In fact, as I argue in the paper, the current focus by courts and commentators only on risk management to prevent losses could actually undermine a firm’s management of its strategy for gains. I therefore propose a model for how Delaware corporate law can drive firms to …

Strategic Management And The Role Of Legal Norms In Creating Corporate Value, Nadelle Grossman

Nadelle Grossman

Delaware corporate law currently requires that directors oversee their firm’s systems to monitor risk so that they can limit their firm’s losses from such risks. Corporate law does not, however, require either directors or officers to oversee the interrelated process of managing that firm’s strategy for gains. Yet managing both risk and strategy are essential to a firm in creating value. In fact, as I argue in the paper, the current focus by business courts and academic commentators only on risk management oversight to prevent losses could actually undermine a firm’s management of its strategy for gains.
