Abstract :
The key factor an electrical engineer brings to a board is confidence in technology related decisions. Electrical engineers seem to think differently from the executives, financiers, and lawyers who make up most large boards. And this different pattern of thought applies not just to technical issues, but to all the diverse situations faced by boards, to the benefit of those boards. The author describes how this small but growing minority of corporate board members can make a big difference to a business´s success.<>
