Background of the Study
Corporate boards are critical in driving the strategic direction of organizations, particularly in the banking sector. Boardroom conflicts, however, can hinder effective decision-making, affecting organizational performance and stakeholder value. In Nigerian banks, the challenges of corporate governance and leadership tussles have become increasingly prominent, with boardroom disputes often leading to indecision or poorly executed strategies.
Zenith Bank, a leading player in the Nigerian banking industry, operates in an environment characterized by stiff competition, regulatory pressures, and evolving customer expectations. Boardroom conflicts within such an institution can have far-reaching implications on decision-making processes, regulatory compliance, and market reputation.
This study focuses on Zenith Bank's operations in Kaduna State, exploring the impact of boardroom conflicts on its corporate decision-making. It provides insights into how conflicts within the boardroom shape the strategic choices made by the bank and their subsequent outcomes.
Statement of the Problem
Effective corporate decision-making is essential for the success and sustainability of financial institutions. However, boardroom conflicts, arising from personality clashes, competing interests, or governance lapses, can disrupt decision-making processes in Nigerian banks. Zenith Bank, like other banks, faces the challenge of maintaining cohesion within its boardroom while addressing complex business needs.
Despite the importance of resolving boardroom conflicts, limited empirical research examines their direct impact on decision-making in Nigerian banks. This gap hinders the ability of institutions to develop frameworks that mitigate conflicts and enhance decision-making. This study seeks to address this gap by analyzing the dynamics of boardroom conflicts in Zenith Bank and their effect on corporate decisions.
