Caractéristiques et fonctionnement des conseils d'administration français. Un état des lieux

Abstract

This survey describes the 97 major French boards of directors in 2002, their mode of operation, (number of meetings, and attendance) as well as those of specialised committees (audit committee, remuneration committee, promotion and appointment committee, strategical committee). The results of the survey reveal significant evolvement of the boards of directors in France during these last twenty years, especially further to the publication of Vienot's (1995-1999) and Bouton's (2002) reports.
