商務英語情景口語:Board of directors 董事會
A: so tell me, what's the difference between the Board of Directors, the CEO, and the stockholders? They all seemt ot be the same group of people to me…
B: no, there's a dfinite difference. You know, the stockholders are the people who own the company…they're the financial control system. Then there's the CEO—the chief executive officer. He's the hot shot, the main guy who is the boss. If there is only one person with absolute power in the organization, everone knows that the power will go to their head. It's too dangerous. That's the reason for a Board of Directors. The board is made up of people who are experts in the industry. They could be related to the organization, but More commonly, they are independent and non-biased.
A: how many people are on the board of directors?
B: usually not more than 15, not less than 10. They meet monthly, quarterly, or biannually to oversee an organization or company. They provide long term planing and Vision, and also act as moral watchdogs rto keep the company in line.
請問董事會,執行總裁和股東有什麼區別?對我來說,他們好像就是一類人…
不是一類,區別大着呢.你知道,股東是公司的持有人…他們是財政控制系統.接下來是執行總裁,那大家都知道權利會衝昏他的頭腦.這樣做太危險.這就是爲什麼要設立董事會的原因.董事會由該企業的專家組成,他們參與組織管理,但更多時候他們是獨立的,而且是不偏不倚的.
董事會由多少人組成?
一般不超過15個,不少於10個.他們每個月,每個季度,或每半年開一次會來監督組織機構或公司.他們提出長遠的規劃和設想,還充當道德的監督者以確保公司走上正軌.
