    SIG STANDING TRACK: BOARD OF DIRECTORS (Corporate Governance)

     

    How boards of directors influence firm behavior and firm outcome continues to be subject to much debate. In this context, understanding the role of board effectiveness presents an important and growing avenue for research. Research on board effectiveness spans a wide variety of units of analysis (firm, team, director) as well as methodologies (survey, archival, observational). Board composition, board processes, and board task performance are considered key elements to effective boards. This topic seeks to understand what makes boards effective and to examine the relationships between board, structures, processes and effectiveness.
