Half of Samsung Electronics' 14 board members are outside directors.
If electronics allows the Big Board to remain the world's leading stockmarket, its members' seats will be worth much more than if they cling to the old ways, and allow somebody else to gobble up their business.
Even after Sony, a consumer-electronics company, cut its board from 40 to 10 in 1997 (three of these are independent non-executive directors), reform has been patchy.

Designed to be lightweight and cheap to produce, the robotic bicep upgrade uses a (mostly) aluminum frame, battery-powered DC motor, cable drive system, racket braking and thumbstick controller for movement, with a BeagleBone board supervising the electronics that pull it all together.

"We are very excited to announce the addition of the Boogie Board Jot eWriter to our Boogie Board product family, " said Improv Electronics CEO Dr. Albert Green.
Sony, a consumer-electronics company, began the trend in 1997, by cutting its board by half.
In electronics, an example is Meiko Corporation, a leader in printed board production.
However, they recommended these sectors, especially planes, consider putting sensors on board to understand better the glitches that can occur in electronics.
The Arno provides beginners with interesting circuits built right into the board, so they can focus on learning the basics of electronics and the Arduino language without needing to assemble and troubleshoot circuits.
But the concepts of the innovation movement that makes the consumer electronics industry one of the strongest in the nation can apply across the board, if government will get out of the way and let it happen.
Pre-soldered connectors and prototyping areas on each board make it easier to customize the robot platform with additional sensors and electronics.
It starts with introductions to electronics and programming, then provides code and explanations for over forty projects using the Arno board.
She said one of the key benefits of RPi was the ease with which components could be added to the board, which, combined with its cost, made it a great entry point to introduce children to electronics.
