THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BOARD SIZE, BOARD COMPOSITION, CEO DUALITY AND FIRM PERFORMANCE: EXPERIENCE FROM GHANA
Download This Article
Anthony Kyereboah-Coleman, Nicholas Biekpe 
Abstract
The paper examined board characteristics and its impact on the performance of non-financial listed firms in Ghana. Data covering 11 year period (1990-2001) was used and analysis conducted within the panel data framework. The study shows that most Ghanaian firms adopt the two-tier board structure and are largely non-independent. The regression results, though relatively mixed, confirm other studies and show that there should be a clear separation of the two critical positions of CEO and board chairman in order to reduce agency cost for enhanced firm performance.
