Abstract: This paper explores how privatised firms change their boards’ structure and composition regarding director profile -business experts, support specialists and community influentials– to obtain the resources required to operate in the new context. Based on three case studies, our results show the limitations of previous studies that have only focused on traditional variables, such as board size and composition (insiders and outsiders). Regarding directors’ profile, the study shows that directors who are business experts play a greater role after privatisation, whereas directors with an influential community role become less important. An in-depth analysis using questionnaires, interviews and secondary sources of information enabled us to exactly determine the resources provided by the different director types before and after privatisation.
