What do boards of directors discuss at their meetings today? Finance, governance and control issues or marketing strategies to drive the business?
According to the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) Sri Lanka Region, professionally qualified marketers today are seeking their due place in the 'C-Suites' and Boards. "It's time for professional Marketers to take wheel at the helm of companies and their seat on Boards, but have they equipped themselves as well-rounded generalists to command respect within the Boardroom?"
