断句：As boards scrutinize succession plans// in response to shareholder pressure, //executives who don’t get the nod //also may wish to move on.
语法分析：句首as boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure为as引导的原因状语从句，主干为executives also may wish to move on，是主语为executives，谓语为also may wish to move on的主谓结构基本句型，who don’t get the nod为定语从句，修饰executives。
难点分析：此句难点在于状语从句以及定语从句的识别。as可引导多种类型的状语从句，此处可根据前后语义，判断为原因状语从句。定语从句结束的位置需要注意在从属连词后的第二组谓语前结束。
翻译：由于董事会迫于股东们的压力，仔细审查公司的继任计划，那些没有得到认可的主管们也可能会想辞职。
