> Well, I have never understood why the board is so involved. Generally in business, the Board hires and fires the CEO and that's it.

I don't think that is the case. The board has a duty of oversight and
is generally responsible for high level decisions about the direction
of the company. The CEO is responsible for the day-to-day
implementation of the board's decisions.
