In large corporations the success or failure of the company is the responsibility of the board of directors. According to Richard DeGeorge, “The members of the board are responsible to the shareholders for the selection of honest, effective managers, and especially for the selection for the CEO and of the president of the corporation.” (p. 202).

Board of Directors- is a group of people who are legally charged to govern an organization. The board is responsible for setting strategic direction, establishing broad policies and objectives, and hiring and evaluating the chief executive officer. The chief executive officer reports to the board and is responsible for carrying out the board 's strategic policies. A board can vary widely in nature, some boards act like "governing boards", that is, they take a strong policy-making role, and expect the chief executive to operate the organization according to those policies. Some boards, despite their being legally responsible for the activities of the corporation, follow all of the directions and guidance of the chief executive (in this case, board members arguably are not meeting their responsibilities as a board). Still, other boards take a strong "working board", or hands-on role, including micro-managing the chief executive and organization.
