Doug Branson is one of the 5-6 leading corporate governance experts in the United States. He wrote the first comprehensive treatise on the subject (Corporate Governance (1993)) as well as fifteen other books on corporate law and corporate governance. His book, "Three Tastes of Nuoc Mam - The Brown Water Navy and Visits to Vietnam" (2012), recounts his year of combat in the Vietnam War as well as later visits to that country as a consultant/tourist. His interests have also included achievement of diversity in governance with books "No Seat at the Table - How Governance and Law Keep Women Out of the Boardroom" (2007), "The Last Male Bastion - Gender and the CEO Suite" (2010), and "The Future of Tech Is Female: How to Achieve Gender Diversity" (2018). Lately, his interests have turned to baseball history. He wrote about a childhood hero, Larry Doby of the Cleveland Indians, who broke the color barrier in the American League ten weeks after Jackie Robison did so in the National. To most younger fans, however, Doby, a seven time All Star, twice the AL home run champion, and also winner of the AL batting crown, is an unknown. See Branson, "Greatness in the Shadows: Larry Doby and Integration of the American League" (2016). Branson's latest book, published late in 2021, is nuanced analysis of factors behind the development of baseball as it is known today: "Major League Turbulence: Baseball in the Era of Drug Use, Labor Strife, and Black Power, 1968-1988." He is the Edward Sell Chair in Business Law at the University of Pittsburgh. He was the Condon Falknor Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Washington (Seattle), the Paul Hastings Visiting Professor at the University of Hong Kong, and the Charles Tweety Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Alabama. He also teaches corporate governance each year at the University of Melbourne (Australia), where he is a permanent senior fellow. He has been a State Department sponsored consultant on corporate governance in Indonesia, Ukraine, and Slovakia and a Fulbright Scholar in Belgium. He is the author of 23 books and approximately 80 articles about corporate law and corporate governance. He has also been a consultant/expert in over 130 important corporate governance cases, in 30 states, including cases involving household name corporations.
