The board of directors is typically primarily composed of non-executives who owe a fiduciary duty to shareholders and are not closely involved in the day-to-day activities of the organization, although this varies depending on the type (e.g., public versus private), size and culture of the organization.
董事会通常主要由非执行董事组成，这些董事对股东负有诚信义务，但并不密切参与公司的日常活动，这一点随着公司的类型（譬如公营还是私营）、规模和文化等方面的差异会有所不同。
