| Tiivistelmä: | The authors examine the relationship between board structure with firm performance in the UK by employing data from 250 publicly traded firms. Consistent with general findings from the USA, the tests as a whole do not discern a significant link between board structure (director affiliation and ownership, chairman affiliation, and committee composition) with firm performance. The results show that the most significant determinants of corprate performance are the level of R&D spending and current operating performance. The results are consistent with governance needs varying across firms, and contrast the notion that uniform board structures schould be mandated. |
