Summary/Abstract: In the scientific and technical literature, and in everyday life appears the dilemma of the utility of boards, and in general existing of these bodies in corporate and other institutions and sectors of government, such as public administration, public funds, health, educational, cultural, and other institutions. Discussion and recommendations go in three directions, namely: (1) to hold the boards in the current form, (2) to abolish the boards, as proved not only inefficient but also very damaging to the success of public sector, and (3) that the boards should be re-designed, and above strengthened in order to demonstrate a greater impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of the public sector. For each of these routes, there are different actors, as well as arguments challenging or points to their sustainability, i.e. unsustainability. Serbia, as a country in transition has no experience regarding the management boards in businesses organizations. The experience of developed countries in corporate practices may be useful for understanding the needs, or the necessity of re-engineering existing management boards in the public sector in Serbia, who founded and operate on the principle of amateurism, ideologization, and politicization. The aim of this paper is to point out the practice of developed countries in this regard, especially the practice of corporate organizations in the United States, as well as the basic arguments in favor of particular options, or in favor of further survival or re-engineering of managerial boards and other bodies that have the same or similar functions (school boards, councils, etc.).
