Roger H. Ford

Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 1988, vol. 13, issue 1, 49-57

Abstract: A growing body of literature asserts the importance for privately-owned firms to have a working board of directors with outside board members. Findings from the author's recent study on the boards’ of the Inc. 500 firms suggest that the presence of outsiders may actually reduce the influence of the board.
