Abstract
This article examines the structure of boards and its effects on the performance of significant board functions. Composition of boards is measured by size, outside director representation and cognitive, as well as demographic diversity. A firm's environment, strategy, structure and culture, and factors attributed to personal characteristics of board members were viewed as important determinants affecting effectiveness of boards. Most important, decisions on board size and composition involve a trade‐off between benefits of diversity and enhanced costs of group development and group decision processes.
