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 directors  elected by shareholders. The directors appoint one of their number to the position of managing director to be in charge of the day-to-day running of the company. In large organizations the managing director is often assisted by a general manager.  Some companies also have assistant general managers. Many directors have deputies who are named deputy directors.  

            Directors need not to be shareholders. They are responsible for the management of a company’s affairs. They are not subject to any residence or nationally restrictions.

            Big companies have many managers heading departments. They are all responsible to the managing director. Among various departmental managers (directors) the following can be mentioned:

 sales manager;

 personnel manager;

 chief manager;

 district manager;

 sales and marketing manager;

 industrial engineering manager;
