This exploratory study addresses an important knowledge gap identified by Pettigrew, 1992, concerning board dynamics by reporting basic descriptive information on board of director meetings and information flows to board members. The study specifically examines the information amount, format, and source relative to the number of board meetings, the number of board members, and the time directors spend in preparation for board meetings.
