Dysfunction in the Boardroom

Abstract

While several countries have passed legislation requiring boards to meet certain thresholds for female membership and others are considering such mandates, quotas remain a contentious and controversial subject. A central question is whether they have an overall positive or negative effect on board and company performance and under what conditions. The fact is, we do not yet truly know the effects of quotas. What we do know is that many myths and misconceptions infuse the debate, and more in-depth research is critically needed.
