                        DIRECTORS AND MANAGERS

       As a rule a private company has only one director.
      A public company must have at least two directors.
      Usually there is no upper limit on the number of directors a public company
may have. The company’s note-paper must list either all or none of the names of
its directors.
      A limited liability company or a corporation is headed by the board of direc-
tors elected by shareholders. The directors appoint one of their number to the posi-
tion of managing director to be in charge of the day-to-day running of the compa-
ny. In large organizations managing director is often assisted by general manager.
Some companies also have assistant general managers. Many directors have depu-
ties who are named deputy directors.
      Directors need not be shareholders. They are responsible for the management of
a company’s affairs. They are not subject to any residence or nationality restrictions.
      Big companies have many managers heading departments. They are all re-
sponsible to be managing director. Among varions departmental managers the fol-
lowing can be mentioned:
      – sales manager;
      – personnel manager;
      – chief manager;
      – district manager;
      – sales and marketing manager;
      – industrial engineering manager etc.
