The business case for board diversity is contrasted in two different social contexts in this thesis. Specifically, the effect of differences in gender, ethnicity, and the age of the directors may have on firm financial performance is compared across a sample of Vietnamese and Australian listed companies. The research employs the most efficient panel data regression method using a selection procedure of fixed/random effects testing. Regression output indicates that the gender and ethnic diversity of the board more positively influences Tobin's Q in Vietnam than they do in Australia while age diversity does not. Additionally, ethnic diversity more positively influences return on assets in Vietnam than in Australia, whereas age diversity more positively affects return on assets in Australia than in Vietnam. The result also suggests that there is no difference in the impact of gender diversity on return on assets across the two nations. These findings will have important implications for global harmonisation, the convergence of corporate governance, in general, and, in particular, recommendations about board diversity.

Board diversity is important especially in countries which practice a one-tier board system, such as Malaysia. Under the system, board appointments are usually controlled by the firm's substantial shareholders, and as a result, directors are chosen based on “the old-boy” network or “people like us”, who are typically middle-aged males and from similar ethnicity which could lead to “group think”. Board diversity ensures breadth and depth of the board's judgments. To this end, this study examines board diversity of the top 100 non-financial Malaysian firms, specifically directors' gender, ethnicity and age and their effects on firm performance. Data are collected from the 2007 annual reports of the sample firms. The evidence indicates the lack of diversity of the Malaysian boards of directors. Results from the multivariate analyses reveal that gender diversity is negatively associated with Tobin's q and rOA. Age diversity is found to be negatively related to rOA. Ethnic diversity, on the other hand, is found to be positively associated with rOA. Hence, findings on the effect of board diversity and firm performance are mixed. Nevertheless, this study offers insights to policy makers in enhancing corporate governance in Malaysia where diversity is one of the areas that could strengthen the effectiveness of the board.

We examine the relationship between the gender and ethnic minority diversity of the board of directors and the financial performance of the firm, i.e. the economic case for a diverse board of directors. The research is unique because we analyze both the diversity of the board and the diversity of important board committees to gain greater insight into the way diversity affects board functions and, ultimately, shareholder value. Our sample consists of all firms listed on the Fortune 500 over the period 1998-2002 yielding a panel of data with approximately 2,000 firm years. Our data also indicate that the direction of causation goes from board diversity to firm financial performance which supports the economic case for board diversity. When we consider the percentage of women and ethnic minority directors on the board, the diversity of board composition appears to create value for shareholders. The results of a cross-section fixed-effects procedure with lagged variables and a three-stage least-squares estimation support board diversity has a positive effect on financial performance as measured by Tobin's q. However, the board committee evidence also indicates that the process through which gender and ethnic diversity impacts financial performance is subtle and complex. Some functions of the board may benefit from diverse directors while other functions may actually suffer. Furthermore, the type of diversity appears to matter. We conclude a more nuanced view of the economic case for board diversity is most appropriate.

We examine the relationship between the gender and ethnic minority diversity of the board of directors and the financial performance of the firm. The research is unique because we analyze the diversity of important board committees to gain greater insight into the way diversity affects board functions and shareholder value. Our sample consists of all firms listed in the Fortune 500 over the period 1998-2002 which yields a panel of data with approximately 2,000 firm years. The results of three-stage least-squares estimation support the conclusion that board diversity has a positive effect on financial performance as measured by Tobin's q. The evidence on board committees indicates that gender diversity has a positive effect on financial performance primarily through the audit function of the board and ethnic diversity impacts financial performance through all three functions of the board we investigate, audit, executive compensation, and director nomination.

This edited collection provides a structured and in-depth analysis of the current use of quota strategies for resolving the pressing issue of gender inequality, and the lack of female representation on corporate boards. Filling the gap in existing literature on this topic, the two volumes of Gender Diversity in the Boardroom offers systematic overviews of current debates surrounding the optimisation of gender diversity, and the suggested pathways for progress. Focusing on sixteen European countries, the skilled contributors explore the current situation in relation to women on boards debates and approaches taken. They include detailed reflections from critical stakeholders, such as politicians, practitioners and policy-makers. Volume 1 focuses on eight European countries having adopted quotas and is a promising and highly valuable resource for academics, practitioners, policy makers and anyone interested in gender diversity because it examines and critiques the current corporate governance system and national strategies for increasing the share of women not only on boards, but within companies beyond the boardroom.
