Abstract

Board of Directors is required to perform his duty in the best manner under the triad of fiduciary duties: good faith, duty of care, and duty of loyalty. The Business Judgment Rule protects the Company's Board of Directors as a risk taker in the organization, that decisions are made in accordance with law, carried out in good faith, carried out with the right purpose, such decisions have rational grounds, carried out with care as is done by a person who is cautious enough about similar judgments and conducted in a way that’s the best for the company. This journal discusses the application of the Business Judgment Rule in the United States, Japan, and judiciary decisions in Indonesian courts. It is known that the application of the BJR concept that is rapidly developing in the United States is adopted in the courts in Japan with an emphasis on "rational decisions", while in Indonesia it emphasizes that there are no injustices, conflicts of interest, unlawful acts and deliberate mistakes.

Keywords: business judgment rules theory, directors’ liability
