Whois & Analysis for boardbook.org

A board of directors is a body of elected or appointed members who jointly oversee the activities of a corporation or organization, which can include a non-profit organization or a government agency.

A board of directors' activities are determined by the powers, duties and responsibilities conferred on it by an authority outside itself.

These matters are typically detailed in regulations (including the jurisdiction's corporations law) or in the organization's constitution and bylaws.

These authorities may specify the number of members of the board, how they are to be chosen, and how often they are to meet.

However, the constitution and bylaws rarely address a board's powers when faced with a corporate turnaround, restructuring, or emergencies, where board members need to act as agents of change in addition to their traditional fiduciary responsibilities.

In computer science and software engineering, computer software is all information processed by computer systems, programs and data.

Computer software includes computer programs, libraries and related non-executable data, such as online documentation or digital media.

Computer hardware and software require each other and neither can be realistically used on its own.
