Abstract

This introduction aims at offering a synopsis of the most relevant topics proposed in this book. This volume is composed by two main parts. The first one (Chapters 2, 3, and 4) presents an extensive review of the literature on (i) the board, (ii) the board diversity, and (iii) the board diversity and its effects on the firm, by reviewing the most relevant theoretical frameworks used to investigate on the board diversity phenomenon. The second part (Chapters 5 and 6) presents the empirical investigation that was conducted on a sample of European listed companies. This second part describes the data and the empirical methodology to finally present and discuss the results, the theoretical and managerial implications and propose a future research agenda.
