The Impact of Board Composition on Firms Critical Decisions : a meta-analytic review - London : Sage, June 2005
To date, the results of agency theory-based research exploring the impact of board composition on firms critical decisions are equivocal. Through meta-analyses, this study reveals systematic relationships between board composition and six of the seven critical decisions examined. Interestingly, the results provide little support to agency theorys predictions on the impact of board composition on critical decisions that involve a potential conflict of interest between managers and shareholders. Implications for theory and practice are discussed
