Abstract

It is acknowledged that the existence of the board of directors is essential. The board of directors is a group jointly appointed by all members of the company. It is responsible for supervising and managing the work of senior managers in the management of the company, to protect and realize the interests of shareholders. Therefore, the role of the board of directors deserves to be investigated. This paper will analyze several examples of board governance of UK listed companies, and use a small amount of data analysis to illustrate the positive and negative role of the board of directors in corporate governance.
