Board of directors within public organisations: a literature review
by Alessandro Hinna, Ernesto De Nito, Gianluigi Mangia
International Journal of Business Governance and Ethics (IJBGE), Vol. 5, No. 3, 2010

Abstract: Compared to the debate on corporate governance in the private sector and to the literature on the macro level of governance in the public sector, the micro-level governance of public organisations remains a neglected area of discussion. Against this backdrop, the paper presents an overview of international literature regarding boards in the public sector organisations, in order to evidence if, and in which terms, the board of directors has been a topic of research in public governance in the recent years. In conclusion, the paper provides suggestions for future research on boards in public organisations.
