Size of the board matters but what matters the most is the corporate culture in corporate governance. Since Board of Directors are supposedly safeguarding the interest of stakeholders by providing policy prescription but CEOs are always under influence by the majority shareholders who elect the chairman.

Strong culture based upon the ethics, morality, brotherhood/sisterhood and respects of rights needs to be inculcated for board members to be free from power and politics. Your comments please?
