dc.description.abstractCorporate governance is not a new concept, although researchers have only shown interest in the topic in the past few decades. The recent financial crisis reignited debate on appropriate mechanisms for making management more accountable to shareholders. Management and boards of directors have been accused of not doing much to protect the interests of shareholders and other relevant stakeholders. This study examines the relationship between board attributes and corporate performance for publicly listed companies in South Africa. In contrast to prior studies, in this research performance is defined as the efficiency of the value added by a firm’s total resources, and its two major components, physical capital (PC) and intellectual capital (IC).en_ZA
