In International Standardisation of Good Corporate Governance – Best Practices for the Board of Directors the Academy of Directors (Ao D) presents a multidisciplinary approach for the governance of a company. The Ao D also aims to use the interaction between the academic and the business world to change the environment in which companies work. This task is realised in different ways: by conducting applied scientific research, creating a large pool of professional experience and networking within the Ao D, confronting these research results with the practical experience of the members, publishing these results, and organising training programmes. The Ao D therefore collaborates very closely with the academic world. The Vlerick School of Management was the co-founder of the Ao D, together with a great number of national and international business partners. The foundation of the Ao D goes back to the initiative of its president, Mr. L.H. Verbeke (Loeff Claeys Verbeke). He was convinced that the increasing international interest in corporate governance would also affect Belgian companies, but that there was a need for an `indigenous coherent’ view of corporate governance. Being at the cross-roads of different cultures and languages and at the same time being a very open economy, Belgium could not simply copy another country’s code on good corporate governance. Therefore the initiative was taken to set up a broad international overview of the best practices for the board of directors, which is presented in this volume. This analysis is not only oriented towards the `famous’ codes but aims to highlight as well the practical applications and problems faced in implementing these suggestions. Consequently special attention is given to the best practices for family businesses and medium-sized companies.
