It is often claimed that corporate and board networks display a scale-free nature, but there is no robust support for this nature. Based on data concerning the corporate board and director networks from companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange Market, we applied a rigorous approach to determine whether quantities of these networks, such as degree, board size, and directorship number, exhibit power-law distribution.
