Governance Under Fire at Tyco


This is an INSEAD video examining the unfolding scandal at Tyco. “Shareholders are screaming. The stock price has dropped from $60 to $7 a share. The press is hitting you every day with requests for info on the turnaround of the company. The prior management is still there, wondering about their futures. The prior board is there, wondering about their futures. And you’re there, trying to bring some order to this chaos.” That’s how Eric Pillmore describes a typical day at the office when he stepped into the corporate governance role at Tyco early in August of 2002.
