Board tenure: A review

Abstract

Abstract This article reviews the existing academic research on the determinants and consequences of board tenure. Primarily, this article focuses specifically on international empirical studies. We find that different corporate governance characteristics determine board tenure. In addition, our review summarizes the influence of board tenure on corporate outcomes, such as accounting performance, financial reporting quality, and business strategy. This review contributes to an understanding of the implications, benefits, and limitations of board tenure. In the absence of any specific guidelines on current corporate governance best practice codes in different jurisdictions, this article would benefit regulators and professionals wishing to understand the importance and consequences of board tenure. We also suggest future research needed to fill the gaps in the existing board tenure literature.
