DRIVEN TO THE BRINK - ALICIA MICKLETHWAIT PATRI...

Driven to the Brink is a collection of short stories about corporate disasters and how
inadequate governance and flawed culture caused a massive destruction of shareholder value.
Look at any major corporate meltdown and two factors emerge: a failure of corporate governance
and a culture where short-termism and greed are rewarded and risk is encouraged to flourish
unchecked. Two years before the latest crash  Alicia Micklethwait co-wrote the best-selling
Greed and Corporate Failure which examined some of the high profile corporate disasters of the
early years of the 21st century. Sadly those lessons were forgotten. Companies have continued
to be Driven to the Brink of disaster. Now  with co-author Patty Dimond  they examine what we
must learn this time around. Drawing on in-depth case studies of the Libor scandal  Olympus 
Co-op  Kids Company and others  Dimond and Micklethwait ask what have we learned and more
importantly  what can we do to prevent these disasters from happening again? They also examine
the large  emerging and less widely understood world of Corporate China with detailed
discussion of the Lixel and Glaxo frauds. On a positive note  staying with China  they look at
the story of Alibaba and ask is an ethical culture enough to protect shareholder rights?
