Management Structure
The board of directors is responsible for governing and overseeing the affairs of a company. Generally it is the board’s responsibility to identify an organisation’s strategic direction and goals. This is different to the role of the management of a company (that is, employees of the company like any Executive Director or CEO and other management staff) who have responsibility for the day to day decision-making and running of a company.The Board of Directors
