We show that female directors have a significant impact on board inputs and firm outcomes. In a sample of US firms, we find that female directors have better attendance records than male directors, male directors have fewer attendance problems the more gender-diverse the board is, and women are more likely to join monitoring committees. These results suggest that gender-diverse boards allocate more effort to monitoring. Accordingly, we find that CEO turnover is more sensitive to stock performance and directors receive more equity-based compensation in firms with more gender-diverse boards. However, the average effect of gender diversity on firm performance is negative. This negative effect is driven by companies with fewer takeover defenses. Our results suggest that mandating gender quotas for directors can reduce firm value for well-governed firms.

The research attempts to examine the presence of women in the boardroom and their impact on governance and financial performance focusing on several factors such as governance theories, board of director size and role, gender diversity, women and men behavior in accordance with the return on equity, assets, and sales ratios to measure the fluctuation of the financial performance against the factors above. How the presence of women in the boardroom can affect the financial performance and governance? In order to answer to this question, two questionnaires for a total of 16 questions were used to the collection of data and information, it was then distributed to 62 shareholders, directors and managers from ten firms that constitute a small image of the Lebanese economic sector. An analysis using a specified rating scale was conducted over the results of the questionnaires. Variables such as Return on Equity, Return on Asset, Return on Sale, gender diversity, women versus men behavior and board size were subject to examination. The results acquired by this study expose the fact that gender diversity on board and the presence of women are directly related to the company's financial performance. Furthermore the board size, the role and behavior of women in the firm enhance company's activity. Applying corporate governance procedures is more reliable when women are on board which reflects the commitment of women on delivering good corporate governance. On the other hand the financial performance has directly been affected due to several factors related to the presence of women in managerial positions.

This book explores diversity in boardrooms to highlight the link between the heterogeneous dimensions of board diversity and their impact on the firms. The book provides a brief definition of corporate governance and focuses on the role and functions of the board of directors. The work contributes to the literature enriching the empirical findings about board diversity. After a deep review of the literature within several theoretical frameworks, such as agency, stakeholder, stewardship, resource dependence, and the institutional theory, the focus moves on the impact on financial performance. The board diversity effects are tested through an empirical analysis conducted on a sample of European listed companies, performing both a single and a joint diversity index analysis. Practitioners and academics will find this book particularly timely and useful as it combines both a review of the literature and robust empirical investigation. It will be an excellent reading for academics and practitioners interested in firm performance, corporate governance and stakeholder theory.

Gender diversity as a corporate governance mechanism is high on the agenda for regulators, firms, and researchers. Particularly, gender board composition has received a great deal of attention in recent years. The theoretical foundations of the benefits associated with the inclusion of female directors on boards, how to measure gender diversity in the boardroom, and its real impact on board decisions and firm strategies remain hotly debated. Drawing on empirical data, this book summarises the current situation regarding gender board diversity and provides a concise overview of the most important concerns about this topic. This will be a vital tool to guide the future debate on gender diversity and corporate governance for researchers and advanced students, as well as regulators, policy makers and board members.

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.

One of recent topics discussed extensively in boardroom is how to refresh board of directors' composition to counter with fast-moving business environment. Gender diversity is proved to be one solution to contribute and strengthen boardroom's effectiveness. Even though empirical evidences produce inconclusive results about the effect of having or increasing women in boardroom would positively impact companies' financial performance, many countries and business organizations put this issue as top agenda as it can represent the high level of commitment toward good corporate governance practices. Finally, this paper is reflected the future role of women in boardroom by highlighting the important fact and key strength of women's skills in tech experience which is deemed necessarily to overcome velocity of current and future technological disruption.
