Suds Corp Has Just Suffered a Huge Loss of Revenue for for Three

question 53

Essay

Suds Corp. has just suffered a huge loss of revenue for three quarters, and the shareholders are furious. Much of the loss can be attributed to a board decision to change the focus of the company from traditional lager beer to a lighter and smoother brew. Unfortunately, the new recipe alienated current customers and failed to bring in new customers. Although Suds has announced that it will return to its original product, the shareholders are claiming a violation of the board's fiduciary duty of care, and they are suing the directors personally for their significant losses. What must the shareholders prove to be successful? What defense is available to the directors, and what must they prove to prevail?
