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.
Transforming Governance: New Values, New Systems in the New
Business Environment, edited by Maria Aluchna and GA1/4ler Aras
addresses the current state, as well as the development of
corporate governance and its perceived tasks and functions, in
response to the changing market and regulatory environment. Divided
into three parts, the book firstly addresses the variety of
theoretical approaches. The inefficiencies, scandals and crises as
well as the significant shortcomings and current criticism of
shareholder value provide a new setting and theoretical assumptions
for the purpose and role of corporate governance in the economy and
society. The second section of the book goes on to discuss the
forces which lead to the changing corporate governance paradigm, as
companies are expected to incorporate not only shareholders but
also stakeholders expectations and report and improve upon social
and environmental performance. The focus of this section is to
present the impact of stakeholders, the requirement for corporate
social responsibility and sustainability, as well as the increasing
importance of women in management and their participation at
corporate board level. Section Three contains corporate governance
case studies within various organizational and institutional
settings; including the case of family companies, social
enterprises/benefit corporations, sustainable companies and
emerging markets. The book's contributors comprise both researchers
and business experts addressing both theoretical and practical
dimensions.
This book examines corporate governance through a holistic lens
that integrates financial, social and environmental goals, e.g.
increasing transparency and disclosure. In addition, it
investigates the theoretical assumptions guiding the current
corporate governance practices adopted by companies in Central
Europe and Russia. The book presents a dynamic study on the
evolution of corporate governance systems, which were practically
non-existent just 30 years ago. In turn, it addresses criticism
leveled at corporate governance, its impact on the outbreak of the
financial crisis, and recommendations for changes after the crisis.
The book employs a regional focus, exploring a group of countries
that have often been neglected in corporate governance research.
Carefully selected data and a variety of case studies prepared by
leading authors from the region provide evidence to support the
analysis.
