Female presence and involvement on boards improves firm
performance, transforms corporate governance and leads to the
transition towards more responsible business. Corporate boards are
essential bodies for governance and management and their efficiency
determines a company's performance. The board is a crucial element
of the corporate governance structure and its efficiency and
performance determines the success of the operation and monitoring
of the company. The board is viewed as the liaison between
providers of capital (shareholders) and managers who use this
capital to create value. The board role is to represent, formulate
and fulfill the interests and expectations of shareholders as the
owners of the companies. The discussion surrounding female
participation in business inevitably needs to refer to their
presence on corporate boards. It is also a reliable indicator of a
gender equality policy and advancement, adopted by countries and
companies. The book traces the logic behind the decision patterns
of female involvement in governance and management. In particular,
it identifies the patterns of women's presence on corporate boards,
with respect to theoretical and conceptual argumentation, policy
and regulatory implication, as well as practical adaptation. The
phenomenon of women on corporate boards is analyzed in the context
of different political, cultural and institutional environments
addressing challenges in both developed and emerging economies. The
role of female directors is viewed as one of the crucial aspects in
corporate governance, adding to the quality of control and
management.
