Abstract

Corporate governance seeks to lay the foundation for a more mutually beneficial synergy between the business organization and all parties that it impacts on. In this regard it establishes principles that are regarded as acceptable best practices globally in the running of a corporate entity. The Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) has been in the forefront of the setting of these principles. One of the cardinal institutions in implementing these principles and maintaining this standard is the Board of Directors of a corporation. This paper looks at the two kinds of board models prevalent in international corporate practice and concluded that it is not the OECD code per se that establishes these models but rather the culture and cultural orientation pervasive in the society and environment where the corporation does its business that determines the board model adopted.
