Riassunto

The first detailed analysis of the internal working and the external relationships of the boards of Britian's leading companies. Responding to calls for greater scrutiny of Boards of Directors, this book presents an in-depth examination of directors of UK organizations, drawing on the accounts of directors themselves as to their roles, influence, and the potential and limits to their power, finding boards to be important mechanisms in maintaining the strategic framework of the organization.
