Philip O'Regan University of Limerick - Kemmy Business School David O'Donnell Intellectual Capital Research Institute of Ireland Tom Kennedy University of Limerick - Kemmy Business School Nick Bontis McMaster University - Michael G. DeGroote School of Business; McMaster University Peter Cleary National University of Ireland - University College Cork Corporate Governance: The International Journal of Business in Society, Vol. 5, No. 4, pp. 56-63, April 2005 Abstract: The emergence of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector in Ireland over the course of the past decade has paralleled a period of exceptional national economic growth. This has raised questions regarding wealth distribution, power and governance. Based on feedback from Chief Financial Officers, and focused specifically on the board of directors of indigenous private firms, this paper seeks to identify some of the characteristics of the governance culture in this sector in Ireland. It deals specifically with issues such as board composition, non-executive directors and the perceived role and usefulness of accounting information in the decision making process.
