This article written by Steven Solomon and published online on the New York Times website tackles a move to split the most senior management position in a well-known company. The argument for splitting the position, as articulated in the article, is that it is better for corporate governance as it will promote more oversight.

Part 1. Your task is to read the article and develop this argument further. In addition, you will also have to articulate the counter-argument to this thesis, as it was not clearly presented in the article. In this regard, construct this debate for and against the proposition in a convincing but succinct manner.

Part 2. After you have presented the arguments, which side do you tend to agree with? Is there a middle ground between these two? If there is, what would be the form of the compromise that you can propose?
