'This article compares the 1950 membership structure of British commercial public boards with that of 1980. In order to explore the extent of change in that structure over this thirty-year period, the analysis covers size and composition of boards, characteristics of board chairmen, "births, deaths and marriages" among public boards, and the 1950 and 1980 structures of four "surviving" boards. The picture which emerges is by no means one of total inertia, but there are some clear continuities.'

Humor is an integral part of our everyday reality. It is a source of strength to compete with and face personal and social challenges as well as political disruptions (Berger 2008). Humor is imbedded in every culture (Berger 1987) and an individual's sense of humor reveals not only aspects of their personality but also their mode of social interaction (Lynch 2002).

The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of directive and supportive leadership style on employee job satisfaction in commercial banks in Kenya. The study adopted the positivism research philosophy and descriptive correlational research design. The target population of the study was 15,030 employees in all the 43 commercial banks licensed to operate in Kenya as of June 2018. Using a stratified sampling technique, the study drew a sample size of 386 employees reporting to middle-level managers. Data was collected by means of a questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. The results of the study showed that a directive leadership style and supportive leadership styles positively and significantly predicted employee job satisfaction. The results of the regression analysis after moderation showed that environmental contingency factors significantly moderated the relationship between path-goal leadership style and employee job satisfaction.
After more than a decade of attempting to remedy failing banks, rising unemployment, and a shrinking economy, Japan has taken a new approach to economic reform. With the hope of improving corporate profits and international competitiveness, the Japanese Diet passed legislation in May 2002 amending the Commercial Code to allow corporations to adopt an American-style executive officer system. The amendment establishes a workable new framework for more effective corporate governance in Japan and serves as an important early step in what promises to be a long road to reform. These benefits notwithstanding, its impact will be limited by the Amendment's optional nature, a preference for Japanese business practices, the persistence of weak, insider-dominated boards of directors, and renewed suspicion of American corporate institutions following the wave of American corporate scandals.

More than 200 years after the King sold one of the "King's commons" to urban timber merchants, local people in some ways still behave as if the area is a kind of commons. The paper outlines the history of the transformation of the area from an 18th century King's commons to a 21st century battleground for ideas about ancient access and use rights of community members facing rights claimed by a commercial forest owner within local consequences of national legislation. The discussion is focused on the right of common to hunt small game without dog in Follafoss private commons. The right was confirmed in a judgement of the Supreme Court in 1937 and in legislation on hunting in 1951. The Government's proposal for new legislation on hunting in 1981 removed the right without saying a word about it, and it was never commented on in parliament during the legislative process. To explain what we observe it is suggested that a new layer of legislation on rights of common from 1857 and 1863 created a structural amnesia about private commons making it easy to remove them from legislation.
