| Abstract: | External ties determine a board's ability to contribute to the strategic decision making process. Although the simple number of director appointments to other boards does not affect board monitoring or advice on strategy, appointments that can provide directors with relevant strategic knowledge and perspective do predict such involment. In effect, the strategic context of social network ties, not simply the number of ties, is an important influence on corporate governance. |
