What do boards do? is an oft-asked question and who better to answer than the board members! Role of Boards - Building Sustainable Competitive Edge published by SAGE re-examines the roles played by Indian boards, with the hypothesis that boards of directors are not doing enough to develop sustainable and competitive organisations.

"In India, this important topic has been shrouded in mystery and deserves to be demystified, especially since boards are positioned at the apex of companies and can potentially play a critical role in the life of an organisation," says Asha Bhandarkar who co-authored the book with the renowned management guru, late Pritam Singh, and author and HR professional Subir Verma.
