Are you following the Disney and Dell Top Job split stories? Up until this week both companies had one person doing both Chairman and CEO jobs: Michael Eisner was forcibly ousted from one half of his portfolio earlier this week and now Dell’s founder Michael Dell has [voluntarily] announced that wef 16 July he will hand over the CEO job to someone else. Remember corporate governance? Combining the two jobs is seriously frowned on here in the UK so for students it may be worthwhile reviewing this issue as it’s still fresh: what better background than Mickey Mouse, too? DW
