Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.
Design/methodology/approach
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.
Findings
Gender diversity in the boardroom can have positive ramifications for firm performance. Although it is widely accepted that female directors bring valuable capabilities, qualities and experiences, the increase in board gender diversity remains slow in certain countries and sectors. Efforts are needed by companies to increase the number of women in executive roles and to address the disparity that can exist between private and public firms where board gender diversity is concerned.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
